1) lscpu
2) free
3) open your box, check for the number of memory slots, and multiply by the size of the largest RAM module for your architecture.

Best would be to take your motherboard manual, and read it.

No, you can't find out how much RAM is supported from the command line.

As already stated, the motherboard manual, or, if it's a branded system (eg, HP, Dell, or whatever) search their web site for the model number in question.
