Command line tool for getting system information with a render via chafa

---

Pre-requirements

1. First you need to install chafa:

   • The current version can always be installed from the repository.
   • Arch / Manjaro:
     sudo pacman -S chafa
   • Ubuntu / Debian / Mint:
     sudo apt install chafa

2. You also need to have golang installed

3. Make sure that the ~/go/bin directory is added to the PATH

Download and install

cd $(mktemp -d)
git clone https://github.com/av1ppp/chafa-welcome
cd chafa-welcome
go install ./cmd/chafa-welcome
chafa-welcome

If the installation was successful, you will get an error:

panic: validation error: stat /path/to/image.jpg: no such file or directory

You will only need to specify the path to the image in the ~/chafa-welcome/config file in the source field:

[image]
source = '/real/path/to/image.jpg'
