Raspberry Pi OS • Re: What is the new command to read CPU temp on Bookworm?

It used to be that one could read the CPU temp using "vgencmd" command. But, looks like it is not there anymore on a fresh Bookworm install.

What is the new way of doing this?

There is no new way. vcgencmd is present on all of my recent bookworm installs.

I don't want to install "libraspberrypi-bin", because it tries to uninstall whole bunch of existing apps.

I don't have libraspberrypi-bin installed.

Have you done any customisations to your install? Is it a straight Raspberry Pi OS installation? 64-bit or 32-bit?

As an alternative you could use the /sys interfaceThat gives a slightly different temperature reading, I can't remember the exact reason for that, but it's close enough.
