Bencher is a widely used, open-source benchmarking tool for Linux systems. It is a powerful tool that can help you to measure and compare the performance of your system. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Bencher on your Linux Mint system.
Make sure that your Linux Mint system is up-to-date and has all necessary packages installed. To install Bencher, you will need the following:
Bencher is written in Go language, therefore, we need to install Go before proceeding. Open the terminal on your Linux Mint system and execute the following command:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install golang-go
This will install the latest version of Go on your system. Once the installation is complete, verify the installation by running the following command:
go version
This will display the installed version of Go, which should be the latest.
Once Go is installed, we can proceed to download the Bencher package from the Bencher GitHub repository. Execute the following command on your terminal:
go get github.com/Runseb/bencher
This will download the Bencher source code and install it on your system. You can check the installation by navigating to the installed package directory:
cd ~/go/src/github.com/Runseb/bencher
To build and install Bencher, run the following command in the package directory:
make && sudo make install
This will build and install the Bencher package on your Linux Mint system. Verify the installation by running the following command:
bencher -h
This should display the Bencher help page, which confirms that the installation was successful.
Finally, let's test Bencher by running a benchmark test. To do this, execute the following command:
bencher bench
This will run a benchmark test and display the results in the terminal. You can use the results to compare the performance of your system with other systems.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install Bencher on your Linux Mint system. You can now use it to benchmark and compare the performance of your system. Bencher is an incredibly powerful tool that can help you identify bottlenecks and optimize your system performance.
