In case we choose to install it from the official repositories, we will have to open a terminal (Ctrl + Alt + T) and write in it: sudo apt remove speedtest-cli Uninstall Speedtest-cliĪs we are going to be able to install this utility in two different ways, obviously we can also uninstall it in two different ways. It is a relative value, used to determine the lowest latency server for speed testing. The latency that this tool will show us should not be considered as an indicative value of style latency ICMP. I want to clarify that it is not an objective of this application to be a reliable latency reporting tool. It has a good amount of features and is made in my beloved Python language. We will be able to choose to run a test from that particular server simply by supplying its identification using the following command: speedtest-cli -server 922Īs we have just seen, this interesting tool called speedtest-cli that can be used to test our internet speed from the terminal. In this case, you have to look at those numbers at the extreme right of the previous image.
We will only have to write the following command: In case we want or need get a list of all speed servers in ascending order of distance to our situation. Whoever wants to can consult and verify all of them simply by typing in the terminal: Speedtest-cli offers a lots of options and customizations. To do that simply add a –Bytes behind your command. Now we may be interested in reading the values in bytes. We can also make some changes, as in the previous test, the values are in bits. Then we will write in it speedtest-cli and press Enter. We will simply have to start a terminal (Ctrl + Alt + T). If we want know more about this project, you can consult the GitHub page thereof. If we already have pip installed on our computer, we will only have to type the following in the terminal (Ctrl + Alt + T): sudo pip install speedtest-cli Since the tool has been written in Python, also we will be able to install it through pip in a simple way. As already is in the official repositories, we will be able to install it simply by typing the following command in the terminal (Ctrl + Alt + T): sudo apt install speedtest-cli Installing this program is easier than you might expect. CPU speed and capacity and memory will play a major role in inconsistency between and even other machines on the same network.
#Speedtest cli code#
The different versions of Python they will execute certain parts of the code faster than others.
There are several concepts to consider about this potential factor:
There is a possibility that this tool will show us inconsistent results when working with. This is a simple but practical program that will measure the speed of your Internet connection and will show us "approximate" values. So here we have speedtest-cli, the command line utility to test our internet speed with. Wouldn't it be so much better if we could test our internet speeds using without having to visit their website and do it directly from the terminal? Well, this is just what this terminal client does. Every once in a while, we all want to test our internet speed by visiting your website. In the network we will be able to find many alternatives to test our internet speed, but I doubt that we can find any as cool as the one ookla speed test. This is a simple client written in Python that we will be able to use to measure the bidirectional bandwidth of our internet connection and that it uses the infrastructure to give us the results.
