How To Install CPU-X on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

Install CPU-X on Ubuntu 22.04

In this tutorial, we will show you how to install CPU-X on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. For those of you who didn’t know, CPU-X is a free and open-source utility for Linux and other Unix-like operating systems that displays information about the system’s CPU (Central Processing Unit) and other hardware components. It is similar to the “lscpu” And “lshw” command-line utilities, but it provides a graphical interface that is easier to use for most users. Some of the information that CPU-X displays includes:

  • CPU model and architecture
  • CPU clock speed and voltage
  • CPU cache size
  • CPU flags and features
  • Motherboard model and vendor
  • BIOS version and date
  • Memory size and type
  • Graphics card model and memory size
  • Network card model and MAC address

This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you the step-by-step installation of the CPU-X software that gathers information on the CPU, motherboard, and more on Ubuntu 22.04 (Jammy Jellyfish). You can follow the same instructions for Ubuntu 22.04 and any other Debian-based distribution like Linux Mint, Elementary OS, Pop!_OS, and more as well.
