hexyl is a simple hex viewer for the terminal. It uses a colored output to distinguish different categories of bytes (NULL bytes, printable ASCII characters, ASCII whitespace characters, other ASCII characters and non-ASCII).

wget "https://github.com/sharkdp/hexyl/releases/download/v0.6.0/hexyl_0.6.0_amd64.deb"
sudo dpkg -i hexyl_0.6.0_amd64.deb

You can install hexyl from the official package repository:

pacman -S hexyl

brew install hexyl

pkg install hexyl

nix-env -i hexyl

Check out the release page for binary builds.

For now, you will have to install from source via cargo (see below). Make sure that you use a terminal that supports ANSI escape sequences (like ConHost v2 since Windows 10 1703 or Windows Terminal since Windows 10 1903).

If you have Rust 1.31 or higher, you can install hexyl from source via cargo:

cargo install hexyl
