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:
- 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.
- Using the
uname -a
command:
terminal
uname -a
This command will output complete information about your system, including the architecture.
- Using the
lscpu
command:
terminal
lscpu
This command will provide detailed information about the CPU, including the architecture.
- 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.
