Phoronix Test Suite - Downloads: "Download

The only main dependencies for the Phoronix Test Suite on Linux and other *NIX operating systems are PHP5 CLI (packages for it are usually called php5-cli or php-cli or just php). Note that only PHP5 is needed and not a web server or other packages commonly associated with PHP. Many of the benchmarking profiles do require the standard Linux development tools/libraries (GCC, etc) and other common programs. However, on many distributions the Phoronix Test Suite is able to use the software's package management system for installing these additional dependencies. On a clean Ubuntu installation, it's as easy as first running sudo apt-get install php5-cli and then running the Phoronix Test Suite.

It is recommended all users use the latest release available, but downloads for older release branches are also available below. The git repository for the latest development code can be obtained using git-clone http://www.phorogit.com/repo/phoronix-test-suite.git (web-based viewer).

Dependencies

The only required dependencies for the Phoronix Test Suite on Linux systems is PHP 5.x CLI (packages for it are commonly called php5-cli or php-cli or just php). It's important to note that only PHP 5 is needed and not a web server (Apache) or other packages commonly associated with PHP. Additionally, the PHP GD module (commonly called php-gd or php5-gd) is recommended to render graphs to PNG image files, but other renderers are available. Likewise, if you wish to use the Adobe SWF renderer, the PHP Ming module (commonly called php-ming) is required. If you wish to use the result-file-to-pdf option, the PHP FPDF (commonly called php-fpdf) module is needed.

There is a GTK2 interface written for the Phoronix Test Suite that can be used by running phoronix-test-suite gui. In order to use the GTK user interface, the PHP GTK module must be installed and loaded. This PHP module can be found at gtk.php.net. PHP GTK for Mac OS X can be found here.
Generic Installation

Running install-sh from the root directory of the Phoronix Test Suite will install the software for system-wide access. By default the phoronix-test-suite executable is in /usr/bin/, the Phoronix Test Suite files in /usr/share/phoronix-test-suite/, and the documentation in /usr/share/doc/phoronix-test-suite/. Root access is required. The default installation prefix is /usr/ but can be adjusted as the first argument (example: install-sh /home/user/ to install the Phoronix Test Suite in your home directory).
Debian/Ubuntu Installation

Debian/Ubuntu users are able to follow the Generic Installation instructions or optionally can generate their own Debian package. If dpkg-dev is installed, run php pts-core/scripts/build-package-deb.php and a Debian package will be generated which can be subsequently installed. This package contains the phoronix-test-suite executable in /usr/bin/, the Phoronix Test Suite files in /usr/share/phoronix-test-suite/, and the documentation in /usr/share/doc/phoronix-test-suite/.

Phoronix Media maintains a Debian package repository for the Phoronix Test Suite of all the latest releases. To use this repository, add the following line deb http://www.phoronix-test-suite.com/releases/repo pts.debian/ to the end of your /etc/apt/sources.list file. A phoronix-test-suite package can also be found in the official Ubuntu universe repository beginning with the Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty) release.
Gentoo Installation

Gentoo ebuild's for the Phoronix Test Suite have been created by users and can be currently found in the Gentoo BugZilla.
Mandriva Installation

Phoronix Test Suite packages are available through Mandriva Cooker starting with the Mandriva Linux 2009 release. These packages were made by Stephane Teletchea.
OpenSolaris Installation

The Phoronix Test Suite core (pts-core) is supported on Solaris and OpenSolaris platforms, but some features may not fully function. Additionally, the PTS External Dependencies feature is supported on OpenSolaris using IPS (the Image Packaging System). However, not all test profiles are supported on Solaris / OpenSolaris, and it may be in violation of your end-user agreement to perform such benchmarks on the Sun Solaris operating system. Using the OpenSolaris Image Packaging System, installing SUNWphp524 will provide PHP, PHP GD, and related dependencies.
BSD Installation

The Phoronix Test Suite also supports *BSD operating systems. However, like the Solaris support, not all test profiles are compatible with BSD operating systems, but pts-core has been tested against FreeBSD 7.0, NetBSD, and OpenBSD 4.4.
Mac OS X Installation

The Phoronix Test Suite is fully supported on Apple's Mac OS X operating system. PHP ships with Mac OS X by default so it's as easy as just downloading the Phoronix Test Suite package, extracting it, and running the executable. For tests that rely upon a compiler, Apple's XCode with GCC will need to be installed."
