cpufetch is a command-line tool written in C that displays the CPU information in a clean and beautiful way

• 1. Support
• 2. Installation
  • 2.1 Installing from a package
  • 2.2 Building from source
  • 2.3 Android
• 3. Examples
  • 3.1 x86_64
  • 3.2 ARM
  • 3.3 PowerPC
  • 3.4 RISC-V
• 4. Colors
  • 4.1 Specifying a name
  • 4.2 Specifying the colors in RGB format
• 5. Implementation
• 6. Bugs or improvements
  • 6.1 Unknown microarchitecture error
  • 6.2 Other situations
• 7. Acknowledgements
• 8. cpufetch for GPUs (gpufetch)

NOTES:

• Colors will be used in Windows only if the terminal supports it.
• Support in macOS ARM is limited to Apple chips only

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).

You will need a C compiler (e.g, gcc) and make to compile cpufetch. Just clone the repo and run make:

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

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

By default, cpufetch will print the CPU logo with the system colorscheme. However, you can set a custom color scheme in two different ways:

By specifying a name, cpufetch will use the specific colors of each manufacture. Valid values are:

• intel
• intel-new
• amd
• ibm
• arm

./cpufetch --color intel (default color for Intel)

5 colors must be given in RGB with the format: [R,G,B:R,G,B:R,G,B:R,G,B:R,G,B]. These colors correspond to the CPU logo color (first 3 colors) and for the text colors (following 2).

./cpufetch --color 239,90,45:210,200,200:0,0,0:100,200,45:0,200,200

See cpufetch programming documentation.

If you get the Unknown microarchitecture detected error when running cpufetch, it might be caused by two possible reasons:

1. You are running an old release of cpufetch (most likely)
2. Your microarchitecture is not yet supported

Download and compile the latest version (see https://github.com/Dr-Noob/cpufetch#22-building-from-source for instructions) and verify if the error persists.

• If the error dissapears: It means that this is the first situation. In this case, just use the latest version of cpufetch which already has support for your hardware.
• If the error does not dissapear: It means that this is the second situation. In this case, please create a new issue with the error message and the output of 'cpufetch --debug' on https://github.com/Dr-Noob/cpufetch/issues

Thanks to the fellow contributors and interested people in the project. Special thanks to:

• Gonzalocl and OdnetninI: Tested cpufetch in the earlier versions of the project in many different CPUs.
• Kyngo: Tested cpufetch in the Apple M1 CPU.
• avollmerhaus: Helped with PowerPC port giving ssh access to a PowerPC machine.
• bbonev and stephan-cr: Reviewed the source code.
• mdoksa76 and exkc: Excellent ideas and feedback for supporting Allwinner SoCs.
• Sakura286, exkc and Patola: Helped with RISC-V port with ssh access, ideas, testing, etc.
• ThomasKaiser: Very valuable feedback on improving ARM SoC detection (Apple, Allwinner, Rockchip).
• zerkerX: Helped with feedback for supporting old (e.g., Pentium III) Intel CPUs.
