Just type uptime in the command line:
$ uptime
11:18:23 up 83 days, 18:29, 4 users, load average: 0.16, 0.03, 0.01
If you want to be told how many weeks, days and hours your system has been up, instead of just getting the number of days confired, use the -p option (-p for pretty):
$ uptime -p
up 1 week, 4 days, 23 hours, 1 minute
