pipx (Recommended)

Installs secfesc in its own isolated environment — no conflicts with system packages.

pipx install secfesc

Upgrade later:

pipx upgrade secfesc

pip

pip install secfesc

Or inside a virtual environment:

python -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
pip install secfesc

From source

git clone https://github.com/ake13-art/secfesc.git
cd secfesc
pipx install -e .

Run tests without installing:

uv run pytest

Verify

secfetch help
secscan --version

Startup integration

Show your security status every time you open a terminal — like fastfetch, but for security.

1. Add to your shell RC file

# ~/.bashrc  or  ~/.zshrc
secfetch --short

2. Choose your logo in ~/.config/secfesc/checks.conf:

[display]
logo = arch        # arch | debian | ubuntu | fedora | secfesc | none

The first run creates the config file automatically.

[!TIP] If secfetch --short is slow to start, switch to secfetch fastscan --short. Edit ~/.config/secfesc/checks.conf to enable only the checks you care about — startup will be instant.

Uninstall

pipx uninstall secfesc
# or:
pip uninstall secfesc
