Speed Test from the Command Line
For a lot of projects, I don't want the GUI, so I have to do everything from the command line (CLI). One thing I do on Windows a fair amount is speed tests, to ensure networking speeds are okay, and now I can do this from the Raspbian CLI.
Open a terminal and enter:
sudo apt-get install python-pip sudo easy_install speedtest-cli
To start a test:
speedtest-cli
You should get an output like:
$ speedtest-cli Retrieving speedtest.net configuration... Retrieving speedtest.net server list... Testing from Zen Internet (your external IP)... Selecting best server based on latency...
