Installation from package:

Download package from here:

[Download] (https://github.com/p53/systeminfo/releases)

Ubuntu

this will fail if dependencies are missing:
   
   dpkg -i systeminfo_1.5.3-0ubuntu0.trusty_all.deb
   
then run, this will install dependencies:
   
   apt-get install -f
   
and then again:
   
   dpkg -i systeminfo_1.5.3-0ubuntu0.trusty_all.deb
   
or from launchpad repo:
   
   add-apt-repository ppa:pavol-ipoth/systeminfo
   apt-get update
   apt-get install systeminfo

RedHat/CentOS

this will install package and it's dependencies:
   
   yum install systeminfo-1.5-2.el7.centos.noarch.rpm

Installation from source (example):

   git clone https://github.com/p53/systeminfo.git
   cd systeminfo

our installation folder will be: /opt/systeminfo

edit config module: systeminfo/misc/config.py set variables in that file:

   cacheDir = '/var/cache/systeminfo/'
   confDir = '/opt/systeminfo/etc/'
   viewDir = '/opt/systeminfo/view/'

Install dependencies:

• python modules: * dmidecode * argparse * gudev * dbus * jinja2
• other: * hwdata

and then you can run this step by step or as a script:

   PROGRAM="systeminfo"
   DEST_DIR=/opt/${PROGRAM}
   DEST_BIN=/usr/bin/${PROGRAM}
   DEST_ETC=$DEST_DIR/etc
   DEST_MAN=/usr/share/man/man8
   DEST_CACHE=/var/cache/${PROGRAM}
   DEST_DOCS=$DEST_DIR/doc/${PROGRAM}
   DEST_VIEW=$DEST_DIR/view
   
   python setup.py build
   rm -rf $DEST_BIN $DEST_ETC $DEST_MAN $DEST_CACHE $DEST_DOCS
   install -d $DEST_DIR
   install -d $DEST_ETC
   install -d $DEST_CACHE
   install -d $DEST_MAN
   install -d $DEST_DOCS
   install -d $DEST_VIEW
   
   python setup.py install
   cp -pR settings/* $DEST_ETC
   cp -pR view/* $DEST_VIEW
   install -pm 0755 ${PROGRAM}.py $DEST_DIR/${PROGRAM}
   install -pm 0644 man/${PROGRAM}.8 $DEST_MAN
   install -pm 0644 LICENSE $DEST_DOCS
   install -pm 0644 README.md $DEST_DOCS
   
   ln -s $DEST_DIR/${PROGRAM} $DEST_BIN

Usage

Simple utility for gathering hardware summary information

NAME

   systeminfo - utility for displaying hardware information

SYNOPSIS

   systeminfo --get asset_type [--p|--l|--j|--d identifier] [--c]

DESCRIPTION

   systeminfo is utility for getting hardware information it aims 
   to be simple and provide output in well formatted output

OPTIONS

   asset_type
           can be one of these types: system, cpu, memory, disk, pci, fcms, tape, eth


   --l, --long
           specifies to display long output


   --p, --parsable
           specifies to display parsable output


   --j, --json
           specifies to display output in json


   --d, --detail identifier
           specifies to display detail, requires identifier

           identifier

           column which you should use as identifier is marked in column header with asterisk


   --c, --cached
           use cache to get data, should be faster, but doesn't generate fresh data

EXAMPLES

   This gets information about system in short format:

       systeminfo --get system

   This gets information about disks in long format:

       systeminfo --get disk --l
       or
       systeminfo --get disk --long

   This gets information about fcms HBA's in parsable format:

       systeminfo --get fcms --p

   This gets information about memory in json format:

       systeminfo --get memory --j

   This get detail about disk device:

       systeminfo --get disk --detail 24:0:2:0

   This refreshes cache info about disks:

       systeminfo --get disk
       systeminfo --get disk --l
       systeminfo --get disk --p

   This doesn't refresh cache:

       (gets fresh data but doesn't update cache)
       systeminfo --get disk --detail 24:0:2:0
       or (these two examples get data from cache)
       systeminfo --get disk --detail 24:0:2:0 --c
       or
       systeminfo --get disk --c
       or
       systeminfo --get disk --l --c

NOTES

   This utility should be run with root priveleges
   Utility works with python 2.7=<, doesn't work with python3 yet
