**LTTng** is a set of software <<plumbing,components>> which interact to
<<instrumenting,instrument>> the Linux kernel and user applications, and
trace user applications.
Most distributions mark the LTTng-modules and LTTng-UST packages as
-optional when installing LTTng-tools (which is always required). In the
-following sections, we always provide the steps to install all three,
-but note that:
+optional when installing LTTng-tools (which is always required). Note
+that:
* You only need to install LTTng-modules if you intend to trace the
Linux kernel.
* You only need to install LTTng-UST if you intend to trace user
applications.
