About the project

Speedtest-cli is command line utility. The maintainers own the project, choose releases, and publish their own documentation. This page records a few things worth knowing before you begin.

Governance sits with the project's own team. They decide what ships, how often it ships, and which platforms are supported.

How projects are distributed

Projects of this kind are usually reached through the operating system's package index, through a language-specific registry, or by building the published source tree. Which route applies depends on the platform and on the maintainers' own guidance.

Check compatibility first

Look at the supported versions before anything else. Projects narrow their platform range over time, and older systems can be dropped without much warning.

A quick sanity check

If the outcome differs from what you expected, the cause is nearly always resolution rather than the project itself — an older copy, a different channel, or a stale cache.
