Using a speedtest on linux will require a python, so we need to install python first
Ubuntu:
apt-get install python -y
Centos
yum install python -y
then copy-paste the following command one by one
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sivel/speedtest-cli/master/speedtest.py chmod +x speedtest.py python speedtest.py
if you want to share the result you can add –share argument
python speedtest.py --share
More option from https://github.com/sivel/speedtest-cli
