## Overview
-The Trace-Cruncher project aims to provide an interface between the existing instrumentation for collection and visualization of tracing data from the Linux kernel and the broad and very well developed ecosystem of instruments for data analysis available in Python. The interface will be based on NumPy.
+The Trace-Cruncher project aims to provide an interface between the existing instrumentation for collection and visualization of tracing data from the Linux kernel and the broad and very well developed ecosystem of instruments for data analysis available in Python. The interface is based on NumPy.
-NumPy implements an efficient multi-dimensional container of generic data and uses strong typing in order to provide fast data processing in Python. The Trace-Cruncher will allow for sophisticated analysis of kernel tracing data via scripts, but it will also opens the door for exposing the kernel tracing data to the instruments provided by the scientific toolkit of Python like MatPlotLib, Stats, Scikit-Learn and even to the nowadays most popular frameworks for Machine Learning like TensorFlow and PyTorch. The Trace-Cruncher is strongly coupled to the KernelShark project and is build on top of the C API of libkshark.

+
+ > cd libtraceevent
+
+ > make
+
+ > sudo make install
+
+ > cd ..
+
+
+ > git clone https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/libs/libtrace/libtracefs.git/
+
+ > cd libtracefs
- cd path/to/trace-cmd/
+ > make
- git am ../path/to/trace-cruncher/0001-kernel-shark-Add-_DEVEL-build-flag.patch
+ > sudo make install

+
+ > cmake ..
+
+ > make
+
+ > sudo make install
+
+ > cd ../..
+
+### Build & Run
+
+Installing trace-cruncher is very simple. After downloading the source code, you just have to run:
-4. Build the NumPy API itself:
+ > cd trace-cruncher
- cd path/to/trace-cruncher
+ > make
- ./np_setup.py build_ext -i
+ > sudo make install
