Local macOS System Inventory
System Info
System Info is a local-only macOS information collector that records operating-system, hardware, display, storage, network, power, security-state, update-history, and process information into a Desktop text report.
Installation
Using the Melding Software Mac installer
Copy and paste this command into Terminal to install the Melding Software Mac scripts.
After reopening Terminal, type MeldingSoftware anytime to load the list.
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MeldingSoftware/Scripts/main/Mac/install.sh | bash
Because this command downloads and immediately runs a shell installer, you can review install.sh in the GitHub repository before executing it. Individual scripts may also request permissions, administrator access, Keychain authorization, Full Disk Access, or other macOS approvals depending on what the selected tool needs.
