## Moving on to installation
First, we need to update the package lists and system repositories using the following command:
```
sudo apt-get -y update
```
After a few minutes the process was finished, then we need to install the utility curl:
```
apt-get install -y curl
```
Is ready!
Now download files of **Speedtest** software itself:
```
curl -s https://install.speedtest.net/app/cli/install.deb.sh | sudo bash
```
Files downloaded successfully.
Next we apply this command to unpack and install Speedtest:
```
sudo apt-get install speedtest
```
Speedtest is installed.
Now we can use a simple command to check the network speed:
```
speedtest
```
Enter the command and accept the license.
Then begins the process of measuring the network speed.
Upon completion, we are provided with full information about the results of the test:
