-c --codename show code name of this distribution
-a --all show all of the above information

Installing LSB Core

lsb_release is part of a software package called the LSB core, which is not necessarily installed on your system by default. To install it, run the command below that corresponds to your specific system:

Ubuntu, Debian

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install lsb-core

CentOS

sudo yum update && sudo yum install redhat-lsb-core

Fedora

sudo dnf update && sudo dnf install redhat-lsb-core

OpenSUSE

sudo zypper update && sudo zypper install lsb-core

Arch

pacman -Syu lsb-release

Other distributions

If your Linux distribution is not listed here, consult your package manager's repository for the package that contains "lsb-core" and/or "lsb_release".

Examples

The following command will list the LSB Profiles which are currently supported on this platform.

lsb_release -a

Display all LSB information specific to your Linux distribution. Output will resemble the following:

LSB Version:    core-5.0-amd64:core-5.0-noarch
Distributor ID: openSUSE project
Description:    openSUSE Leap 42.2
Release:        42.2
Codename:       n/a

Note:

If you receive a message like this:

..you will need to install the LSB core software first. See section Installing LSB Core above for more information.
