How to Install Flame on Debian Latest

Flame is a lightweight tool used for profiling and analyzing performance of your program. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install Flame on Debian Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we proceed with the installation, make sure that you have the following:

Installation

  1. Open the terminal and type the following command to install Git:

    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install git
    
  2. After installing Git, let's clone the Flame repository from GitHub.

    git clone https://github.com/pawelmalak/flame.git
    
  3. After the cloning process is complete, navigate to the "flame" directory:

    cd flame
    
  4. Now we need to compile and install Flame. To do that, run the following commands one by one:

    make
    sudo make install
    

    The first command compiles the source code, and the second command installs the Flame binary.

  5. After installing Flame, run the following command to verify if the installation was successful:

    flame --version
    

    If Flame is successfully installed, it will display the version number.

Usage

Now that Flame is successfully installed, you can start using it to profile and analyze the performance of your program. Here's an example command to create a flame graph:

flamegraph.pl profiler.txt > graph.svg

You will need to replace "profiler.txt" with the name of the profiler file you want to analyze, and "graph.svg" with the name of the output file.

Congratulations! You now know how to install and use Flame on Debian Latest.
