# PyHw
[](https://pepy.tech/project/pyhw)
PyHw, a neofetch-like command line tool for fetching system information but written mostly in Python. **Currently, this project is still in the initial stage, only part of the linux systems and macOS are supported.**
This project is a Python reimplementation of [neofetch](https://github.com/dylanaraps/neofetch) and references the [fastfetch](https://github.com/fastfetch-cli/fastfetch) project for logo style settings. Since this project is implemented in Python, it will be easier to maintain and extend than bash and c implementation. Also, this project only relies on the Python standard library, so you can run it on any device that has a Python environment (I hope so 🤔).

## Install
There are already a lot of similar tools so you can choose any of them; they're all essentially no different. If you want to try this tool, just install it directly by pip.
```shell
pip install pyhw
```
To upgrade pyhw:
```shell
pip install pyhw --upgrade
```
You can then use this tool directly from the command line with the following command, just like neofetch.
```shell
pyhw
```
Please note that the command line entry for __pyhw__ is created by pip, and depending on the user, this entry may not in the __system PATH__. If you encounter this problem, pip will give you a prompt, follow the prompts to add entry to the __system PATH__.
### Important note about debian 12:
If you use system pip to install pyhw, you will encounter this problem on debian12 and some related distributions:
```text
error: externally-managed-environment
× This environment is externally managed
╰─> To install Python packages system-wide, try apt install
python3-xyz, where xyz is the package you are trying to
install.
If you wish to install a non-Debian-packaged Python package,
create a virtual environment using python3 -m venv path/to/venv.
Then use path/to/venv/bin/python and path/to/venv/bin/pip. Make
sure you have python3-full installed.
For more information visit http://rptl.io/venv
note: If you believe this is a mistake, please contact your Python installation or OS distribution provider. You can override this, at the risk of breaking your Python installation or OS, by passing --break-system-packages.
hint: See PEP 668 for the detailed specification.
```
This is due to the fact that system python is not supposed to be managed by pip. You can use a virtual environment (venv) or force remove this restriction (not recommended).
## Supported (Tested) OS
* macOS arm64, x86_64
* debian-based distro x86_64
* RaspberryPi OS arm64
## Build from source
### Build tools
Make sure the following Python build tools are already installed.
* setuptools
* build
* twine
### Build package
clone the project, and run:
```shell
python -m build
```
or you can use the old setup.py style command:
```shell
python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel
```
After the build process, the source package and the binary whl package can be found in the dist folder.
