   5 As [previously stated](#doc-installing-lttng), LTTng is shipped as
   6 three packages: LTTng-tools, LTTng-modules and LTTng-UST. LTTng-tools
   7 contains everything needed to control tracing sessions, while
   8 LTTng-modules is only needed for Linux kernel tracing and LTTng-UST is
   9 only needed for user space tracing.

  11 The tarballs are available in the
  12 <a href="http://lttng.org/download#build-from-source" class="ext">Download
  13 section</a> of the LTTng website.

  15 Please refer to the `README.md` files provided by each package to
  16 properly build and install them.

  26 If you're using Ubuntu, executing the following Bash script
  27 will install the appropriate dependencies, clone the LTTng
  28 Git repositories, build the projects, and install them. The sources will
  29 be cloned into `~/src`. Your user needs to be a sudoer for the install
  30 steps to be completed.
