Check processor and EFI firmware compatibility
##############################################
Before installing |CL-ATTR|, check your host system's processor and EFI firmware
compatibility. To check compatibility, choose one of the following paths:
* From a system with a Linux\* OS installed, follow the instructions to :ref:`check-compatibility-steps`.
* From a non-Linux OS, first :ref:`bare-metal-install-desktop` and then follow
the instructions to :ref:`check-compatibility-steps`.
.. note::
This does not check other system components (for example: storage and
graphics) for compatibility with |CL|.

Check compatibility
*******************
#. Download the `clear-linux-check-config.sh`_ file.
If a browser is not available, use:
.. code-block:: console
curl -O https://cdn.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 prints 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 Linux* OS
SUCCESS: 64-bit CPU (lm)
