Here you can clearly see how to measure network speed on VDS and Dedicated servers running Linux in the simplest and most effective way.
First, we need to update the system package and repository lists using the following command:
sudo apt-get -y updateÂ
After a few minutes the process is completed, and next we need to install the curl utility:
apt-get install -y curlÂ
Done!
Now download the Speedtest software files:
curl -s https://install.speedtest.net/app/cli/install.deb.sh | sudo bashÂ
The files have been successfully downloaded.
Â
Next, run the following command to unpack and install Speedtest:
sudo apt-get install speedtestÂ
Speedtest has been installed.
Now we can use a simple command to check the network speed:
speedtestÂ
Run the command and accept the license agreement.
