It can also be started automatically with each new shell session. To do this, append archey3 to a new line in your configuration file, including any options.
Configuration
Archey3's configuration file is stored at ~/.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 configuration file
A sample configuration file, with comments showing all of the possible options for configuration, is available in the examples page.
