   5 This is a small guide to get started quickly with LTTng kernel and user
   6 space tracing. For intermediate to advanced use cases and a more
   7 thorough understanding of LTTng, see [Using LTTng](#doc-using-lttng) and
   8 [Understanding LTTng](#doc-understanding-lttng).

  10 Before reading this guide, make sure LTTng
  11 [is installed](#doc-installing-lttng). You need LTTng-tools. Also install
  12 LTTng-modules for
  13 [tracing the Linux kernel](#doc-tracing-the-linux-kernel) and LTTng-UST
  14 for
  15 [tracing your own user space applications](#doc-tracing-your-own-user-application).
  16 When your traces are finally written and complete, the
  17 [Viewing and analyzing your traces](#doc-viewing-and-analyzing-your-traces)
  18 section of this chapter will help you analyze your tracepoint events
  19 to investigate.
