Standalone Scripts

ipwhoami ships standalone scripts for environments where Node.js isn’t available. These are feature-equivalent to the npm version.

Bash Script (macOS / Linux)

Requires: curl, jq

Install

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vineethkrishnan/ipwhoami/main/install.sh | bash

Usage

The Bash script accepts the same flags as the npm version:

ipwhoami                      # Your public IP
ipwhoami 8.8.8.8              # Specific IP
ipwhoami -c 1.1.1.1           # Compare mode
ipwhoami -p ipapi 8.8.8.8     # Choose provider
ipwhoami -r 8.8.8.8           # Raw JSON

Location

After install, the script lives at /usr/local/bin/ipwhoami.

PowerShell Script (Windows / macOS / Linux)

Requires: PowerShell 5.1+ (built into Windows 10/11) or PowerShell 7+

Install

Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vineethkrishnan/ipwhoami/main/scripts/ipwhoami.ps1" -OutFile "$HOME\ipwhoami.ps1"

# Add alias
Add-Content $PROFILE 'Set-Alias ipwhoami "$HOME\ipwhoami.ps1"'

Usage

PowerShell uses named parameters:

ipwhoami                              # Your public IP
ipwhoami 8.8.8.8                      # Specific IP
ipwhoami -Compare 1.1.1.1             # Compare mode
ipwhoami -Provider ipapi 8.8.8.8      # Choose provider
ipwhoami -Raw 8.8.8.8                 # Raw JSON
