Inxi is developed to work on most GNU/Linux distributions. The script comes pre-installed in Crunchbang, Epidemic, Linux Mint and AntiX. Arch Linux has an AUR inxi package. We hope, as more maintainers and users discover and find inxi a nice tool, it will find its place in more distributions.

Inxi works on Konversation, Xchat, irssi, Quassel, as well as on most other IRC clients. Quassel includes (usually an older version of) inxi.

See inxi options here for list of options. Always check inxi -h to get the full list of the latest options (the wiki page may become outdated).

Script Installation

Check the installation information link, which includes a link to a deb package. The Debian only smxi script installs inxi with all dependencies and recommends.

The Origins of inxi

Inxi is a full rewrite, by h2 and trash80, of the locsmif's infobash script.

The original infobash scripting methods were not debuggable, readable, or maintainable, so we forked the script.

We started with a set of bug fixes and code readability updates. Then, once the potential became exposed, we added more features. The rewrites far exceeded the original utility, thus the inxi project began.
