Simple shell script for watching Internet Speed using Ookla's Speed Test CLI

instructions_speedwatch.md

IMPORTANT NOTE: This only works for MacOS!

The speedwatch shell script requires Homebrew. If you don't have it yet, speedwatch will install it for you. It might take a while, but once installed, using speedwatch should be instant.

Installation Instruction

1. Open your terminal and paste the following lines:

curl https://gist.githubusercontent.com/joshuacerbito/afdb962d32fc8c1b6e62c7a4ea60528e/raw/speedwatch -o speedwatch
chmod +x speedwatch
mv ./speedwatch /usr/local/bin/speedwatch
echo "Speedwatch has been downloaded! Simply run \"speedwatch\" to start"

2. Still on your teminal. Type speedwatch and press enter/return
3. An EULA prompt will be displayed. Type YES and press enter/return
4. DO NOT close your terminal while the speedwatch is running. Just keep it running in the background.

Stopping Speedwatch

• Go back to your terminal and press Ctrl+C.
• You can now close your terminal.

Technically, you can simply close your terminal to stop speedwatch, but it's better to terminate the program first.
