Bencher is a lightweight benchmarking tool designed for Linux systems. It allows you to test performance and capabilities of different processes or applications. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps of installing Bencher on Clear Linux Latest.
Before installing Bencher, please make sure to:
It is important to update your Clear Linux system to ensure that you have the latest software packages installed. Open Terminal and run the following command:
sudo swupd update
Bencher requires the following dependencies to work:
python3python3-pipgitUse the following command to install them:
sudo swupd bundle-add python3-basic python3-pip dev-utils
sudo swupd bundle-add git
To clone the Bencher repository, run the git command:
git clone https://github.com/jbondeson/bencher.git
This will create a new directory called bencher. Navigate to the directory using the following command:
cd bencher
It is best practice to install Bencher in a virtual environment to avoid any conflicts with system-wide packages. Use the following command to create a Python virtual environment:
python3 -m venv bencher_env
This will create a new directory called bencher_env. Activate the virtual environment using the following command:
source bencher_env/bin/activate
To install Bencher, use the following command:
pip install -r requirements.txt
python setup.py install
This will install Bencher on your system.
To verify that Bencher is installed correctly, run the following command:
bencher -h
This will display the help menu for Bencher.
You now have Bencher installed on your Clear Linux system. You can now use it to test the performance and capabilities of your applications or processes.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
