A GO lang command line tool to check internet speed right from the terminal.
Uses fast.com through headless chrome.
Chrome browser must be installed. chromedp
will try to locate the chrome executable automatically from these paths.
If you get error regarding chrome availability, and you have chrome in custom path then check Troubleshooting.
Install fast
:
go get -u github.com/adhocore/fast/cmd/fast
Finally, make sure $GOPATH
or $HOME/go/bin
is in your $PATH
or %path%
, then run:
fast
# if you just want download speed (pass -noup aka no upload speed)
fast -noup
Wait a while or Ctrl+C
if you can't. That's all.
In MacOS, you can do something like this:
echo '#!/bin/sh\n\n/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome $@' > /usr/local/bin/chrome
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/chrome
In WSL, you can symlink chrome from host WinOS like this:
sudo ln -s /mnt/c/Program\ Files/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe /usr/local/bin/chrome
In other OS, you can do something equivalent to above. The idea is chrome
command should point to Chrome Browser.
