StarFetch โญ
็ฎไฝไธญๆ
English
A beautiful and fast system information tool written in Rust, inspired by neofetch. StarFetch displays your system information with elegant ASCII art and smart terminal adaptation.
๐ก Inspiration & Encouragement
StarFetch was born from a deep respect for the legacy of command-line tools. We are incredibly honored to have received these words of encouragement from Dylan Araps, the creator of neofetch:
> "Starfetch looks cool. It looks like a lot of care has gone into it. ... I wish you all the best and I hope you succeed in your goals."
> โ Dylan Araps
His reminder that "writing software is fun but can also be very draining" and to "look after yourselves" is a core value we carry forward in this project.

APT (Ubuntu / Debian / Kali)
On Linux, these two commands are all you need (x86_64 and ARM64):
curl -1sLf 'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/starlakeai/starfetch/setup.deb.sh' | sudo -E bash
sudo apt-get install starfetch
Homebrew (macOS)
brew tap Linus-Shyu/tap
brew install starfetch
Winget (Windows)
winget install Linus-Shyu.StarFetch
Other installation options
Universal install script (when no package manager is available):
# Linux / macOS / BSD
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Linus-Shyu/StarFetch_Core/master/install.sh | bash
# Windows (PowerShell)
irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Linus-Shyu/StarFetch_Core/master/install.ps1 | iex
Prerequisites
- Rust (latest stable version) - Install Rust
- Cargo (comes with Rust)
Build from Source
git clone https://github.com/Linus-Shyu/StarFetch_Core.git
cd StarFetch_Core/StarFetch
cargo build --release
Install Globally
cargo install --path .
Troubleshooting
If you see warnings like profile package spec 'zlib-rs' in profile 'dev' did not match any packages, your global Cargo config (~/.cargo/config.toml) has profile overrides for packages such as zlib-rs or adler2 that this repo does not use. Edit ~/.cargo/config.toml and remove or comment out sections like [profile.dev.package.zlib-rs], [profile.release.package.adler2], and [profile.release.package.zlib-rs]. You can also ignore the warningโit does not affect the build.
