Check processor and EFI firmware compatibility with Clear Linux OS for Intel® Architecture
======================================================================
On a system that is currently running a Linux operating system, follow the instructions below to determine if your target system is capable of running |CL|\*. Otherwise, see the Note section below for other options.
On a system that is currently running a Linux operating system, follow the instructions below to determine if your target system is capable of running |CL|. Otherwise, run |CL| as a `live image`_ and perform the steps below.  
#. Download the `clear-linux-check-config.sh`_ script.

.. note::
Only a system running a Linux distribution can run the compatibility
check. There are two alternative options:
* Install and run a Linux distribution directly on your system.
* Run a :ref:`live-image` from a USB drive (success does not guarantee your
system is 100% compatible).
