Check your Internet speed via the Terminal

We first need to install pip, a package manager for Python software packages ^[1].

# yum install python-pip

Next, we install the Python package called speedtest-cli 0.2.7

# pip install speedtest-cli

And finally, to get your Internet download speed, type the following command:

# speedtest-cli

---------------------------------------------------------------
[1]. To see if you have already installed pip, type the command #pip --version. If pip is already installed, you'll get an output like pip 1.4.1 from /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages (python 2.7)
