Check processor and EFI firmware compatibility with Clear Linux\*
#################################################################
On a system that is currently running a Linux operating system, follow the
instructions below to determine if your system's processor and EFI firmware is
capable of running |CLOSIA|. Otherwise,
:ref:`run Clear Linux as a Live image <live-image>` and then perform the steps
below.
.. note::
This does not check other system components (for example: storage and
graphics) for compatibility with |CL|.
#. Download the `clear-linux-check-config.sh`_ file.
If a browser is not available, use:
.. code-block:: console
$ curl -O https://download.clearlinux.org/current/clear-linux-check-config.sh
#. Make the script executable.
.. code-block:: console
$ chmod +x clear-linux-check-config.sh
#. Run the script.
#. Check to see if the host's processor and EFI firmware is capable of
running |CL|.
.. code-block:: console
$ ./clear-linux-check-config.sh host
#. Check to see if the host is capable of running |CL| in a container.
.. code-block:: console
$ ./clear-linux-check-config.sh container
The script will print a list of test results similar to the output below.
All items should return a `SUCCESS` status. This example indicates the
host's processor and EFI firmware support running |CL|.
.. code-block:: console
Checking if host is capable of running Clear Liunx* OS for Intel® Architecture
