Here you can see how to measure network speeds in the simplest and most efficient way on VDS and Dedicated servers running OC Linux.

{% hint style="info" %}
For example, **Ubuntu 20.04 LTS** will be used.

## 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.
