Perf User Guide - Installing

# Installing

In order for the Perf plug-in for Eclipse to work properly, you need to have the perf tool installed on your system first. Most Linux distributions will likely package this as a package related to the kernel. More information about the perf tool can be found at https://perf.wiki.kernel.org/ .

Once the perf tool is installed, the easiest way to install the Perf plug-in for Eclipse is through the Software Updates and Add-ons menu. For information on how to use this menu, refer to this link.
