perf-tools is a collection of performance analysis tools for Linux that can be downloaded from https://github.com/brendangregg/perf-tools. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing perf-tools on your Manjaro Linux system.
Before you start installing perf-tools, you need to ensure that your Manjaro system meets the following requirements:
To download the source code of perf-tools, you first need to clone the project’s GitHub repository. You can do this by running the following command:
