⚠️How to Test Your Internet Speed from the Command Line

⚠️Maybe you’re remotely connected to a server via ssh , and want to test speeds on that machine. Maybe you’re already used to using commands to troubleshoot your network , and want to add a speedtest to your toolkit. Or maybe you just think the command line is cool

Here’s how to install it on all three major operating systems.

1⃣ Installing speedtest-cli On Ubuntu (and Other Linux Distros)
Run this command 👇

sudo apt install speedtest-cli
The command might differ somewhat on other Linux distributions, so check your distro’s package manager and look for a package named speedtest-cli.

2⃣ Installing speedtest-cli On Windows
This is slightly more complicated, but totally doable. First you’ll have to to install Python on Windows, which basically means downloading the correct installer and ensuring that python and pip are both added to your system PATH.
Once you’re done with that, installing speedtest-cli is a matter of running one command:👇

pip install speedtest-cli
