Neofetch displays information about your system next to an ASCII operating system logo (or any picture you configure it to display).

You can run Neofetch on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and more

Designed to handle show and tell, apps like neofetch are a mainstay of desktop screenshots. They can distill information about the operating system, kernel version, and desktop environment, but also what theme or icons are being used, which window manager, and even which version of Bash!

Basically, its the sort of tool made for Linux nerds like us!

What’s super-duper great about Neofetch is that it’s super cross-platform —uup, not just cross-platform but super cross-platform.

You can run Neofetch anywhere you can run Bash. That means it runs on Linux, MacOS, iOS, BSD, Solaris, Android, and (yup) even Windows 10.

One of Neaofetch’s “pluses” over similar CLI system info tools is the extent to which you can customise it. Neofetch is highly customizable through the use of command line flags or the user config file. There are over 50 config options to play around with.

You can even run the app and have it take a screenshot of your entire screen!

Install Neofetch in Ubuntu

You can istall Neofetch  Ubuntu in a number of ways, including from source.

By far the easiest (and the one that ensures you get new versions as and when they’re releases) method is to make use of its official PPA. This provides the very latest release in a neatly packed, er, package for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and above (including Zesty).

To add the PPA run the following commands from your Terminal app of choice:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:dawidd0811/neofetch

sudo apt update && sudo apt install neofetch

Alternatively, you can download an installer package directly from the PPA’s packages page:

Download Neofetch 1.9.1 for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

As Neofetch is a command-line tool you won’t find an app icon in the Dash. Instead, to use it, simply run the following from whichever terminal emulator you prefer:

neofetch

from the command line.

Run

neofetch --help

add to terminal on startup

nano .bashrc

add this line

# start neofetch

neofetch

to see a full list of the various command line arguments.
