## Installation

[Install](/index.php/Install "Install") the [archey3](https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?name=archey3) package.

## Starting

Archey3 can be run by typing:

```
$ archey3

```

This should produce an output similar to below.

```
              +                OS: Arch Linux x86_64
              #                Hostname: Archie
             ###               Kernel Release: 4.9.11-1-ARCH
            #####              Uptime: 0:32

  ######'           '######

 ##'                     '##   
#'                         `# 

```

It can also be started automatically with each new [Bash](/index.php/Bash "Bash") session. To do this, append `archey3` to a new line in your `~/.bashrc` file, including any options.

## Configuration

Archey3's configuration file is stored at `~/.config/archey3.cfg` by default. However this can be adjusted using this command where CONFIG represents the file to use:

```
$ archey3 --config=CONFIG

```

### Colors

Archey3 can display colors other than the default blue. To change colors, append the `-c foo` flag, where "foo" represents the desired color. Supported colors are: black, red, green, yellow, blue, magenta, cyan, and white. For example, to display archey3 in red, type:

```
$ archey3 -c red

```

### Editing the config file

A sample config file, with comments showing all of the possible options for configuration, is available in the [examples](https://lclarkmichalek.github.io/archey3/examples.html) page.
