Re: Archlinux

Have you tried: sudo packer -S archey

To customize the info displayed on archey, edit "/usr/bin/archey" directly and
look for the display array. Note: Archey can only allow up to 15 fields.

Re: Archlinux

Keta,

Yes, you'll need to install sudo if you want to use it. Or you can

  $ su
  $ password:

  # packer -S archey

After installing you will need to go to your .bashrc hidden in your home folder. It will look something like this:

alias ls='ls --color=auto'
[ ! "$UID" = "0" ] && archbey -c cyan
[  "$UID" = "0" ] && archbey -c red
#PS1="\[\e[01;31m\]┌─[\[\e[01;35m\u\e[01;31m\]]──[\[\e[00;37m\]${HOSTNAME%%.*}\[\e[01;32m\]]:\w$\[\e[01;31m\]\n\[\e[01;31m\]└──\[\e[01;36m\]>>\[\e[0m\]"

You need to comment out the archbey lines so it looks like this:

alias ls='ls --color=auto'
#[ ! "$UID" = "0" ] && archbey -c blue
#[  "$UID" = "0" ] && archbey -c red
#PS1="\[\e[01;31m\]┌─[\[\e[01;35m\u\e[01;31m\]]──[\[\e[00;37m\]${HOSTNAME%%.*}\[\e[01;32m\]]:\w$\[\e[01;31m\]\n\[\e[01;31m\]└──\[\e[01;36m\]>>\[\e[0m\]"

Then add archey to your .bashrc

alias ls='ls --color=auto'
#[ ! "$UID" = "0" ] && archbey -c blue
#[  "$UID" = "0" ] && archbey -c red
#PS1="\[\e[01;31m\]┌─[\[\e[01;35m\u\e[01;31m\]]──[\[\e[00;37m\]${HOSTNAME%%.*}\[\e[01;32m\]]:\w$\[\e[01;31m\]\n\[\e[01;31m\]└──\[\e[01;36m\]>>\[\e[0m\]"

archey -C blue

or white, green, red, yellow, black, magenta, cyan; whatever your preference color is. Default is blue

Save .bashrc and open a terminal and you should see archey instead of archbey

Re: Archlinux

Packer comes with ArchBang. Can you see if it's in your package list

  $ pacman -Q

If it's not in the list you will have to grab the tarball from the Packer page in AUR and untar and makepkg, pacman -U to install. Then you can download archey

Or, if you don't really use AUR, download the tarball from the Archey page in AUR, untar, makepkg, pacman -U to install
