Archey3 is a simple python script that prints basic system information and ASCII art of the Arch Linux logo.

## Installation

Install the archey3 package.

## Starting

Archey3 can be run by typing:

    $ archey3

This should produce an output similar to below.

                                   OS: Arch Linux x86_64

It can also be started automatically with each new 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 Config reference.
