Check if you are using 32 or 64 bit Linux

To identify if you are using 32 bit or 64 bit Linux OS, run command arch.

boby@sok-01:~$ arch
x86_64
boby@sok-01:~$

You can also use uname command

boby@sok-01:~$ uname -i
x86_64
boby@sok-01:~$ 

Another way is to use hostnamectl command and look for “Architecture”.

boby@sok-01:~$ hostnamectl
   Static hostname: sok-01
         Icon name: computer-desktop
           Chassis: desktop
