Installation

Via Homebrew (macOS)

$ brew tap checktheroads/jollyip
$ brew install jollyip

• jollyIP requires Python 3.6 or later
• jollyIP must be run as root (sudo jollyip)

About

Jolly IP was made during a fit of rage, after being told I had to install Java in order to install Angry IP Scanner on macOS (which I refuse to do). While Angry IP is a great app, as a network engineer, most of the time I just need a quick CLI solution to scan something or generate some ARP entries. Jolly IP has the added advantage of being able to specify hosts, subnets, ranges, or any combination thereof in a single command.

As such, very little testing outside macOS has been done. That said, The underlying ICMP library supports macOS, Linux, and Windows, as do all other minor dependencies. If you run into a compatibility issue, please raise an issue and I'll do what I can.
