Available memory on our server

We will connect to our server via SSH via Putty. Once inside, we will use the following command to see the result in Megas:

free -m

Which will return the following result: enter image description here

Being "total" the amount of memory, "used" the used, "free" the free, "shared" the shared, "buff/cache" cached memory and "available" the available.

If we want to see it in GB we will replace the "free -m" with "free -g".
