If you are on a Bash Shell and want to know the IP address of your device, then you can make use of the ifconfig command.
Example:
As ifconfig may have too much information, we can pipe it with awk command to filter out just the IPs.
# ifconfig | awk '/inet / {print $1, $2}'
inet 127.0.0.1
inet 192.168.1.3
Of the output, the first IP 127.0.0.1 is the loopback address also called as localhost.
The second IP here 192.168.1.3 is my local Private IP..
