**From source**

Make sure you have a working Go environment (Go 1.12 or higher is required). See the [install instructions](https://golang.org/doc/install.html).

Compiling duf is easy, simply run:

```auto
git clone https://github.com/muesli/duf.gitcd dufgo build

```

**Usage**

You can simply start duf without any command-line arguments:

```auto
duf

```

If you supply arguments, duf will only list specific devices & mount points:

```auto
duf /home /some/file

```

If you want to list everything (including pseudo, duplicate, inaccessible file systems):

```auto
duf --all

```

You can show and hide specific tables:

```auto
duf --only local,network,fuse,special,loops,bindsduf --hide local,network,fuse,special,loops,binds

```

You can also show and hide specific filesystems:

```auto
duf --only-fs tmpfs,vfatduf --hide-fs tmpfs,vfat

```

Sort the output:

```auto
duf --sort size

```

Valid keys are: `mountpoint`, `size`, `used`, `avail`, `usage`, `inodes`, `inodes_used`, `inodes_avail`, `inodes_usage`, `type`, `filesystem`.

Show or hide specific columns:

```auto
duf --output mountpoint,size,usage

```

Valid keys are: `mountpoint`, `size`, `used`, `avail`, `usage`, `inodes`, `inodes_used`, `inodes_avail`, `inodes_usage`, `type`, `filesystem`.

List inode information instead of block usage:

```auto
duf --inodes

```

If duf doesn’t detect your terminal’s colors correctly, you can set a theme:

```auto
duf --theme light

```

If you prefer your output as JSON:

```auto
duf --json

```

**Troubleshooting**

Users of `oh-my-zsh` should be aware that it already defines an alias called `duf`, which you will have to remove in order to use `duf`:

```auto
unalias duf

```
