Linux	FreeBSD	AppImage

CPU-X is a Free software that gathers information on CPU, motherboard and more.
CPU-X is a system profiling and monitoring application (similar toCPU-Z for Windows), but CPU-X is a Free and Open Source software designed for GNU/Linux and FreeBSD.
This software is written in C++ and built withCMake tool.
It can be used in graphical mode by using GTK or in text-based mode by using NCurses. A dump mode is present from command line.

CPU-X supports:

• GNU/Linux
• FreeBSD

CPU-X runs on:

• x86:
  • 32-bit CPUs (IA-32, also known as i386, i486, i586 and i686)
  • 64-bit CPUs (x86_64, also known as x64, AMD64, and Intel 64)
• ARM (since v5.1.0):
  • 32-bit CPUs (ARM32, also known as AArch32)
  • 64-bit CPUs (ARM64, also known as AArch64)

These dependencies are needed tobuild CPU-X:

• A C++ compiler (GCC orClang)
• CMake (version 3.12 or newer is needed)
• Pkg-Config /Pkgconf
• NASM (for x86 CPUs only)

These dependencies are optional totest CPU-X:

• Grep
• GNU Awk¹
• Mawk¹
• One true awk¹

¹At least on Awk is required, e.g. the default Awk on the system.

These dependencies are needed tobuild² andrun CPU-X:

• Gtkmm3 (versions 3.12 to 3.24 are supported)
• NCurses
• Libcpuid (version 0.7.0 or newer is needed)
• Pciutils
• EGL (version 1.5 or newer is needed), withOpenGL
• Vulkan
• OpenCL (version 1.2 or newer is needed)
• Procps-ng (Linux) /Libstatgrab (*BSD)

²On some GNU/Linux distributions, the appropriate-dev or-devel package is needed.

In alphabetical order:

• ArchLinux:pacman -S cpu-x
• Debian (since version 11 "Bullseye"):apt install cpu-x
• Fedora (since version 30):dnf install cpu-x
• FreeBSD (since version 11):pkg install cpu-x
• Gentoo:emerge -g cpu-x
• Manjaro:pacman -S cpu-x
• NixOS (since version 21.11):nix-env -iA nixos.cpu-x
• OpenMandriva Lx (since version 4.0 "Nitrogen"):dnf install cpu-x
• openSUSE Leap (since version 15.2 fromutilities project):zypper install cpu-x
• Solus:eopkg install cpu-x
• Ubuntu (since version 20.04 "Focal Fossa") :apt install cpu-x

CPU-X is availableas Flatpak on Flathub since v5.0.2.

For step-by-step guide, please readthis page on the Wiki.

Application is available in menu (System Tools category). If you start the daemon, it will allow CPU-X to access some special devices, which provides more information and avoid empty labels.
The CPU-X daemon requires root privileges, and uses Polkit for privileges escalation.

You can usecpu-x from command line, some options are available, like:

• --gtk: to start the graphical user interface (default)
• --ncurses: to start the text-based user interface
• --dump: to get a summary of data

Use--help to see all arguments.
