How to check CPU temperature on Debian Linux

Question

How can I get the temperature of the CPU on the Debian system? Is there is any GUI tool or command for this?

Answer 1

You can run the sensors command on the terminal to check the CPU temperature. It should be installed by default. I tested it on Debian9 and Ubuntu20 and it worked without any error.

$ sensors
