   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

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