Check architecture

Q: Which binary should I choose? I don't know my system architecture

A: To check the architecture of your Linux operating system, such as whether it is AMD64 or ARM, you can use the uname command with various options. Here are several methods:

  1. Using the uname -m command:
terminal
uname -m

This command will output the architecture of your OS. For example, x86_64 for 64-bit AMD/Intel architecture or armv7l for 32-bit ARM.

  1. Using the uname -a command:
terminal
uname -a

This command will output complete information about your system, including the architecture.

  1. Using the lscpu command:
terminal
lscpu

This command will provide detailed information about the CPU, including the architecture.

  1. Using the arch command:
terminal
arch

This command will also output your system's architecture.

Examples of output:

  • For 64-bit AMD/Intel architecture:
terminal
x86_64
  • For 32-bit ARM architecture:
terminal
armv7l
  • For 64-bit ARM architecture:
terminal
aarch64

You can use any of these methods to determine the architecture of your Linux OS.
