## The problem
- It works on my computer
- "command not found"
- what version of "command" are you running?
- what version of "different command" are you running?
- do you have "insert obscure android sdk version"?
- every github issue reporting template ever:
**Please mention other relevant information such as the browser version, Node.js version, Operating System and programming language.**
## This solution
- Gather all of this information in one spot, quickly, and painlessly.
## Installation
To use as a CLI tool, install this package globally:
```sh
npm install -g envinfo || yarn global add envinfo
```
Or, use without installing with npx:
`npx envinfo`
To use as a library in another project:
```sh
npm install envinfo || yarn add envinfo
```

## Programmatic Usage
Envinfo takes a configuration object and returns a Promise that resolves a string (optionally yaml, json or markdown)
```javascript
import envinfo from 'envinfo';
envinfo.run(
{
System: ['OS', 'CPU'],
Binaries: ['Node', 'Yarn', 'npm'],
Browsers: ['Chrome', 'Firefox', 'Safari'],
npmPackages: ['styled-components', 'babel-plugin-styled-components'],
},
{ json: true, showNotFound: true }
).then(env => console.log(env));
```
logs:
```json
{
"System": {
"OS": "macOS High Sierra 10.13",
"CPU": "x64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4870HQ CPU @ 2.50GHz"
},
"Binaries": {
"Node": {
"version": "8.11.0",
"path": "~/.nvm/versions/node/v8.11.0/bin/node"
},
"Yarn": {
"version": "1.5.1",
"path": "~/.yarn/bin/yarn"
},
"npm": {
"version": "5.6.0",
"path": "~/.nvm/versions/node/v8.11.0/bin/npm"
}
},
"Browsers": {
"Chrome": {
"version": "67.0.3396.62"
},
"Firefox": {
"version": "59.0.2"
},
"Safari": {
"version": "11.0"
}
},
"npmPackages": {
"styled-components": {
"wanted": "^3.2.1",
"installed": "3.2.1"
},
"babel-plugin-styled-components": "Not Found"
}
}
```
All of envinfo's helpers are also exported for use. You can use envinfo as a whole, or just the parts that you need, like this:
```javascript
const envinfo = require('envinfo');
// each helper returns a promise
const node = await envinfo.helpers.getNodeInfo();
// The promises resolve to an array of values: ["Name", "Version", "Path"]
// e.g. ["Node", "10.9.0", "/usr/local/bin/node"]
console.log(`Node: ${node[1]} - ${node[2]}`); // "Node: 10.9.0 - ~/.nvm/versions/node/v8.14.0/bin/node"
```

## Contributing
PRs for additional features are welcome! Run `npm run lint && npm run format` before committing.
This project came out of a [PR](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/14428) to the React Native CLI tool - issues are reported frequently without important environment information, like Node/npm versions.
