How to use Phronix Test Suite ?

[Dark_Star]

Another question.. will the installation download the full nexuiz and quake game :"O

[Michael]

Files by default are installed to ~/.phoronix-test-suite/installed-tests/, but you can change that location in ~/.phoronix-test-suite/user-config.xml

Just 1 question .? Where the files will get installed ? Can I delete the extracted folder after installation will ask if I have some problems

First make sure you have PHP5-CLI and PHP5-GD installed. Then cd to the pts directory (or wherever you saved the files to) and run it from the terminal:

./phoronix-test-suite

That will give you all the available commands. There are several commands you can append to that initial call, like lists-test and list-suites, which will give you a read-out of all the available benchmarks. You install benchmarks with the install argument. Ex.

Install Universe suite:

./phoronix-test-suite install universe

Everything will be automatically downloaded and installed, with all dependencies resolved automatically. You're going to need a rather fast internet connection since some of the programs are rather large. After it installs you can run it with the run argument:

./phoronix-test-suite run universe

How do I install P test Suite in Ubuntu 8.04 ? And how do I use it ? Is it necessary to run games to get the FPS ? Or it will give an assumption seeing the secs ?
