Flame is a lightweight, multi-platform software for visualizing the execution of software programs. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps required to install Flame on OpenBSD.
Before installing Flame, we need to make sure that OpenBSD is up to date and has the necessary packages installed. To do this, run the following command:
sudo pkg_add git gmake py3-setuptools py3-pip
These packages are needed to install Flame.
After installing the prerequisites, we can proceed with installing Flame. Follow these steps:
Clone the Flame repository from Github:
git clone https://github.com/pawelmalak/flame.git
Change into the Flame directory:
cd flame
Install the required Python modules:
sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Compile the program:
gmake -j4
Once Flame is installed, you can start it by running:
./flame.py
This opens the Flame GUI. To use Flame, you will need to provide it with a trace file. A trace file is a record of the runtime behavior of a program. You can create a trace file using a profiling tool like pyinstrument.
That's it! We have successfully installed Flame on OpenBSD. Flame is a powerful tool for analyzing the performance of software programs. With Flame, you can visualize the execution of your code and identify potential bottlenecks.
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!
