vmprobe is a utility for managing the virtual memory of your cloud, cluster, or servers. It is based on vmtouch technology but it adds many new capabilities.

For a more comprehensive introduction, please see our official documentation.

The vmprobe install page has pre-built linux packages which are the recommended way to deploy vmprobe. However, if you plan on developing vmprobe yourself, you will need to compile from source.

There are some compile-time dependencies needed. On Ubuntu you should be able to get them with this command:

sudo apt-get install build-essential g++ libperl-dev cpanminus liblmdb-dev

Next you need to download the perl-time dependencies from CPAN. There is a script in this repo that you can run to do that:

./build.pl quick-dev

You will be prompted for your password so that cpanminus can install the packages globally on your system.

Finally, you should be able to compile vmprobe with this command:

./build.pl build

If all goes well you can now run vmprobe like so:

./Vmprobe/bin/vmprobe

If you run into any trouble, please create a github issue.
