You can test the internet connection speed from the command line using the speedtest-cli<\/code> tool. This tool can be installed on Linux or Unix systems using the package manager for your distribution, such as apt<\/code>, yum<\/code>, or homebrew<\/code>.<\/p>\n

Here is an example of how to install and use speedtest-cli<\/code> on a Debian\/Ubuntu system:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Install speedtest-cli<\/code>:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    \n
    <\/div>\n
    sudo apt update<\/span>
    \nsudo apt install speedtest-<\/span>cli
    \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
      \n
    1. Run the speed test:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
      <\/div>\n
      speedtest-cli
      \n<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      The output of the speed test will include the ping time to the test server, the download speed, and the upload speed.<\/p>\n

      Note: speedtest-cli<\/code> requires a working Python interpreter and the speedtest.net<\/code> test servers. If your system does not have a Python interpreter installed, you can install one using the package manager for your distribution. If you have a firewall or network restriction that prevents access to the speedtest.net<\/code> test servers, you may not be able to run the speed test.<\/p>\n
