How to check Linux Kernel is 32bit or 64bit?

To check running Linux kernel is 32 bit or 64 bit from command line run the following:

$ getconf LONG_BIT

This command will display 32 or 64 depends on kernel

In GNU/Linux we need to know about OS Kernel bit mode (32 or 64) before downloading/installing new software.


if you want to know processor info from remote terminal use following command

$ cat /proc/cpuinfo
