Fing CLI Network Scanner on Arch Linux
Installation
There are installer available for Windows, macOS and Debian (deb)/RHEL(rpm) Linux and the installation there should be straight forward. On Arch I will use the Linux Generic download:
wget https://www.fing.com/images/uploads/general/CLI_Linux_Generic_5.5.2.zip
unzip CLI_Linux_Generic_5.5.2.zip
In case of Debian and RHEL you can directly install the deb or rpm package:
sudo dpkg -i fing-5.5.2-amd64.deb
sudo rpm -i fing-5.5.2-amd64.rpm
For the Linux Generic build we have to un-tar the package and copy all files to the place they belong - this can be done with the following command:
sudo tar -zxvf fing-5.5.2-amd64.tar.gz --strip-components 1 -C /
More Installation Options can be found here.
Verify that the installation worked as expected:
sudo fing -v
5.5.2
Configuration
All configuration files can be found in /etc/fing.
