That makes the project history unusually transparent: Archey 4 exists to keep a familiar lightweight system-info tool maintained rather than to invent a new category. The project kept the old one-command terminal identity but turned it into a Python package with optional standalone builds, JSON output, custom entries, broad Unix-like platform support, and external configuration added in v4.3.0. ### Adoptionsgeschichte Official packaging instructions name GitHub release packages, PyPI, AUR, Homebrew, and FreeBSD ports. The README badges also track PyPI, AUR, Homebrew, and GitHub release/download signals, showing that the tool is meant to be consumed through package managers rather than only cloned from source. For package users, Archey 4 is a classic low-risk utility: it has one executable, simple Python dependencies, and optional config paths that follow Unix conventions. That makes it easy to package and easy for users to compare across systems. ### Wie es verwendet wird The command is `archey`; it prints system information and can be invoked directly or as `python3 -m archey` from source. The README documents optional helpers such as `procps`, `dnsutils`, `lm-sensors`, `pciutils`, and macOS temperature tools for richer output. Configuration is optional and searched in `/etc/archey4/config.json`, `~/.config/archey4/config.json`, and `./config.json`, with later local/user files overriding broader defaults unless configured otherwise. ### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren Archey 4 is significant less because it is large and more because it represents the maintained-fork lifecycle of terminal culture tools: small utility, abandoned ancestor, distro/user demand, and a fork that packages cleanly across ecosystems. Its config search order and package list are also a neat example of a Python CLI that behaves like a native Unix utility. ### Zeitleiste - 2017-04-27: GitHub repository created. - 2017-05-05: First GitHub release in the releases API, v4.0.0. - 2017-09-21: README notes the repository was detached from the original fork network while remaining a fork. - 2024-09-30: Latest GitHub release observed for this batch, v4.15.0.0. ### Related projects - The README names djmelik's original Archey as the upstream project. - It occupies the same practical niche as other terminal system information display tools, but the official sources focus on Archey lineage rather than those neighboring projects. ### Quellen - - - ## Sicherheitshinweise narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger-Risiko:** grün / niedrig - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
