Install Guider – Linux Performance Analyzer

For installing Guider on Linux, first, clone the guider repository from GitHub and go inside the guider directory by using the following commands:-

$ git clone https://github.com/iipeace/guider.git
$ cd guider

Run the following command in the terminal to know about guider (without even installing it):

guider/guider.py

If you want to run guider faster and lighter after downloading, then build and install it on your system by using the following command:

cd guider && make && make install 

We don’t need to install the guider mandatorily.

Guider is an open-source integrated performance analyzer tool written mostly in Python for Linux operating systems. Most of the functions required for measuring, analyzing, testing, and verifying Linux system performance are provided in Guider. Guider provides most of the features like  Monitoring, Profiling, Visualization,  control, Logging, Test. 

Information concerning CPU, memory, disk usage per thread, processes, system functions (user/kernel) are shown which makes it easy to know the root cause for abnormal system performance and improve them.

In this article, the installation of guider from source will be shown and also how to use it to analyze and improve overall Linux operating system performance.
