Installing Hardinfo for Debian 10?

[jekkuzan]

Hi

Im currently new to debian, and i want to have a hardinfo the same way with Ubuntu. But the package is not available via apt-search. May i know how to install hardinfo in debian? should i install package online? if yes how can i install it then. Thank you for your guidance

Exactly what command did you use to search? apt-search is not a command. apt search will find it.
Maybe you should use Synaptic package manager or brush up on terminal apt commands.

Personally I use inxi for system info these days, but hardinfo is definitely in the repos:
https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=hardinfo

Hi thank you for the reply

the command i used is "apt search hardinfo", and it fails to find the hardinfo.
thank you for the recommendation in inxi but i still want hardinfo badly due to its GUI and been using for the other distros as well.
Regarding the package path you metioned, may i know how to install it step by step. Sorry for the trouble.

That should work. If not there is something wrong with your sources configuration or your internet.

Do these as root user or sudo

Code: Select all

apt update

then

Code: Select all

apt install hardinfo

Code: Select all

$  apt policy hardinfo
hardinfo:
  Installed: 0.5.1+git20180227-2
  Candidate: 0.5.1+git20180227-2
  Version table:
 *** 0.5.1+git20180227-2 500
        500 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian buster/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

This tells you about the package and where it thinks it will find it
to install use a root terminal, or some user authority

# apt-get install hardinfo

hardinfo is already the newest version (0.5.1+git20180227-2).

Better yet, use synaptic

Code: Select all

#  apt-get install synaptic

Post the output from

Code: Select all

apt policy

This will tell us what active repos you have configured. You definitely have something misconfigured as you have the same problem in your other thread with samba.

Hi

Thank you for the help, i updated the sourcelist and managed to updated and install samba and hardinfo,

Thank you so much. I wonder why was it not included in the installer.

The installer will often disable repositories if it can't contact them during the install process, so maybe that happened to you.
