Installation

hwid is both an importable library and a command-line tool. To use it as a dependency, add it to your project (uv add hwid or pip install hwid) and call hwid.get_hwid() from Python. To use the hwid command directly, install it as a standalone tool as shown below.

Stable release

Install hwid into an isolated environment with your preferred tool installer:

uv tool install hwid

pipx install hwid

Or run it without installing:

uvx hwid

Homebrew (macOS/Linux):

brew install hasansezertasan/tap/hwid

Scoop (Windows):

scoop bucket add hasansezertasan https://github.com/hasansezertasan/scoop-bucket
scoop install hasansezertasan/hwid

Verify release provenance

Public-repository release distributions include Sigstore-signed build provenance. After downloading a wheel or source distribution, verify that the release workflow built it from main in this repository:

gh attestation verify <downloaded-distribution> \
  --repo hasansezertasan/hwid \
  --signer-workflow hasansezertasan/hwid/.github/workflows/release.yml \
  --source-ref refs/heads/main

Artifact attestations are available for public repositories on current GitHub plans. Private and internal repositories require GitHub Enterprise Cloud and the repository variable ENABLE_PRIVATE_ATTESTATIONS=true.

From source

The source files for hwid can be downloaded from the GitHub repo.

You can either clone the public repository:

git clone https://github.com/hasansezertasan/hwid.git

Or download the tarball:

mkdir hwid
curl -fL https://github.com/hasansezertasan/hwid/tarball/main | tar -xz --strip-components=1 -C hwid

Once you have a copy of the source, you can install it with:

cd hwid
uv tool install .
