To check your Linux architecture, open a terminal and run the following command: uname -m. <\/p>\n

This will return your machine hardware name. From this you can determine whether you’re running a 32-bit or 64-bit kernel. For example, if the output is i686, you’re running a 32-bit kernel. If the output is x86_64, you’re running a 64-bit kernel.<\/p>\n

To check if your system is able to run a 64-bit kernel, run the following command: egrep -c ‘ lm| pae’ \/proc\/cpuinfo<\/p>\n

If the output is 1 or greater, your CPU can support a 64-bit kernel. If the output is 0, your CPU can’t support a 64-bit kernel.<\/p>\n
