SPECIAL NOTE FOR LEGACY OPERATING SYSTEMS WITH NO TLS 1.2 OR GREATER:
Modern web servers are dropping support for TLS 1.0, 1.1, and so has smxi.org,
this means to install inxi onto an older system with only OpenSSL 1.1 available,
you will need to do this to install inxi onto the old system:
wget -O /usr/local/bin/inxi ftp://ftp.smxi.org/outgoing/inxi
then update inxi/man pages after that with inxi -U 4, which uses FTP, not HTTP,
to download the file.
For pinxi, just change inxi to pinxi above, and it will work the same.

It's a good idea to check with pinxi if you want to make sure your issue has not
been corrected, since pinxi is always equal to or ahead of inxi.
See SPECIAL NOTE FOR LEGACY OPERATING SYSTEMS above to install pinxi on very old
operating systems with out of date TLS version.
