Many of our readers will have heard of 'Jarvis' he virtual assistant developed by Mark Zuckerberg the creator of Facebook, the tool has caused quite a stir thanks to the fact that it combines artificial intelligence with the internet of things to control practically your entire home. This is not the first time that a powerful personal assistant has been created, but this time it has gone viral thanks to the impact that Zuckerberg has on the industry.
Inspired by all this revolution of virtual assistants, was born Jarvis for Linux an extraordinary personal assistant for Linux which uses the console and python to automate many tasks.
What is Jarvis for Linux?
It is a personal assistant for Linux that runs from the terminal, is totally free and is developed in Python. The tool is responsible for executing various tasks when indicated by following a syntax that has been configured previously.
Jarvis for Linux It allows you to know information about your computer such as (ram, temperature, processes), your geographical location as well as locate restaurants, services, stadiums, addresses near your location. In the same way, the tool allows us to download music, read news, search for images, calculate route among other functionalities.
It is worth noting that Jarvis It allows adding new functionalities, in addition, integration with third-party services is proposed. The tool was released just a few days ago, but the acceptance has been very good, bringing with it a large number of new collaborators who are working to improve it.
How Jarvis works
Using Jarvis is quite simple, just run the main class of the tool and enter the commands that are already programmed for the bot to carry out the tasks that we indicate.
In the following video we can appreciate in detail the benefits of Jarvis and its use:
How to install Jarvis
The installation of Jarvis for Linux is quite simple, we just have to clone the official repository and install the necessary dependencies.
The installation of dependencies in Linux Mint and derivatives can be done by executing the following commands as root:
$ apt-get install nodejs $ apt-get install npm $ pip install ims $ pip install gTTS $ pip install pyowm $ pip install instantmusic $ pip install SpeechRecognition
Next we proceed to clone the repository and execute the main class.
$ git clone https://github.com/sukeesh/Jarvis.git $ cd Jarvis $ python main.py
With this we can now enjoy this great tool
Conclusions about this personal assistant for Linux
Jarvis for Linux It is a tool that observed a fairly successful future, despite being recently released it has made a fairly large support group, its basic functionalities (and most of them are included in other tools) considerably increase the productivity of the users who are used to using the console.
Users of other operating systems already have some fairly acceptable virtual assistants, it is a good time for Linux to start enjoying various alternatives to these tools.
This excellent tool does not yet have multilanguage support, plus it only accepts specific commands. Surely something that will be improved in the next versions.
The path that this tool must travel to become the best personal assistant for Linux is quite long, but with the contribution of the community, the addition of new functionalities and above all with the power of python, I think it can become consolidated.
I miss that the application still does not have artificial intelligence integrated, something that in the future should be a priority for the developer if he wants his tool to be really special.
