1. Support

cpufetch supports x86, x86_64 (Intel and AMD) and ARM.

OS	x86_64 / x86	ARM	Notes
GNU/Linux	✔️	✔️	Best support
Windows	✔️	❌	Some information may be missing. Colors will be used if supported
Android	❗	✔️	Some information may be missing. Not tested under x86_64
macOS	✔️	❌	Some information may be missing. Apple M1 support may be added in the future (see #47)
FreeBSD	✔️	❌	Some information may be missing.

2. Installation

2.1 Installing from a package

Choose the right package for your operating system:

If there is no available package for your OS, you can download the cpufetch binary from the releases page, or build cpufetch from source (see below).

2.2 Building from source (Linux/Windows/macOS)

Just clone the repo and use make to compile it

git clone https://github.com/Dr-Noob/cpufetch
cd cpufetch
make
./cpufetch

The Makefile is designed to work on Linux, Windows and macOS.

2.3 Android

1. Install termux app (terminal emulator)
2. Run pkg install -y git make clang inside termux.
3. Build from source normally:

• git clone https://github.com/Dr-Noob/cpufetch
• cd cpufetch
• make
• ./cpufetch

3. Examples

Here are more examples of how cpufetch looks on different CPUs.

3.1 x86_64 CPUs

3.2 ARM CPUs

4. Colors and style

By default, cpufetch will print the CPU art with the system colorscheme. However, you can always set a custom color scheme, either specifying Intel or AMD, or specifying the colors in RGB format:

./cpufetch --color intel (default color for Intel)
./cpufetch --color amd (default color for AMD)
./cpufetch --color 239,90,45:210,200,200:100,200,45:0,200,200 (example)

In the case of setting the colors using RGB, 4 colors must be given in with the format: [R,G,B:R,G,B:R,G,B:R,G,B]. These colors correspond to CPU art color (2 colors) and for the text colors (following 2). Thus, you can customize all the colors.

5. Implementation

See cpufetch programming documentation.

7. Acknowledgements

Special thanks to Gonzalocl and OdnetninI. They tested cpufetch in its beginnings in many different CPUs they have access to, which made it easier to debug and check the correctness of cpufetch.

Special thanks too to the fellow contributors and interested people in the project!
