How to install Geekbench 4, 5 and 6 on Linux
Last updated on February 19, 2024
If you want to install and run Geekbench 4, 5 or Geekbench 6 on Linux, follow this tutorial. The following instructions can be used on:
- a local computer running any Linux distribution
- a remote Linux server (VPS, shared or dedicated hosting…) with access to the command line
I mostly use Geekbench to compare the performance of small VPS instances running Ubuntu Server.
1. Install Geekbench 4, 5 or Geekbench 6 on Linux
You do not need to run Geekbench as root (or use sudo).
1.1 In your home directory, create a temporary directory and enter it:
cd
mkdir geekbench-tmp
cd geekbench-tmp
1.2 Download the Geekbench 4 or 5 or the latest Geekbench 6 and extract the archives:
wget https://cdn.geekbench.com/Geekbench-4.4.4-Linux.tar.gz
tar -zxvf Geekbench-4.4.4-Linux.tar.gz
wget https://cdn.geekbench.com/Geekbench-5.5.1-Linux.tar.gz
tar -zxvf Geekbench-5.5.1-Linux.tar.gz
wget https://cdn.geekbench.com/Geekbench-6.2.2-Linux.tar.gz
tar -zxvf Geekbench-6.2.2-Linux.tar.gz
2. Run Geekbench 4, 5 and Geekbench 6 on Linux
2.1 Enter Geekbench 4 directory and run it:
cd Geekbench-4.4.4-Linux/
./geekbench_x86_64
2.2 Enter Geekbench 5 directory and run it:
cd Geekbench-5.5.1-Linux/
./geekbench_x86_64
2.3 Enter Geekbench 6 directory and run it:
cd Geekbench-6.2.2-Linux/
./geekbench_x86_64
Once Geekbench has finished running, it will display a link to the results, which could look like this:

3. Uninstall Geekbench
To uninstall Geekbench on Linux, simply remove the temporary Geekbench directory:
cd
rm -r geekbench-tmp

awesome work! I spent so much time looking for it.
I think you added a small typo when adding the xmpRights, it should be like this:
-XMP-xmpRights:Marked=True
Thanks again!
THANK YOU for this post. i have been wanting to post many CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 INTL images to archive.org and couldn’t find a simple-enough (yet *correct*) how-to. This post enabled me to assemble the full version (i made a bash script) that i needed. Perfect! Many thanks again for taking the time to set this up so clearly/simply and correctly. I even like your use of color and spacing to make finding things quicker for the eye to zoom in to. Well done, indeed.
