How To Install Speedtest-cli On a FreeBSD To Check Internet Speed

Best/Tutorial

Speedtest-cli is a command-line tool that allows you to test your internet connection speed. Here's how you can install it on a FreeBSD system:

  1. First, you'll need to have the "python" package installed on your system. You can check if it's already installed by running the command "python3 -V". If it's not installed, you can install it by running "pkg install python3"
  2. Once python is installed, you can install the "pip" package manager by running the command "pkg install py36-pip"
  3. Use pip to install the speedtest-cli package by running the command "pip3 install speedtest-cli"
  4. Once the installation is complete, you can run the command "speedtest-cli" to check your internet connection speed.
rnYou can also use the pkg package manager to install speedtest-cli, which is not the most recent version but it is well tested and supported

pkg install py37-speedtest-cli

And then use the speedtest-cli command to test your internet connection speed.

You can also check the different parameters you can use with the speedtest-cli command by running the command "speedtest-cli --help"

Please note that the package manager and package name may vary depending on the version of FreeBSD you are running
