There are 3 big distro’s you need to keep in mind for, Debian, Arch and Fedora, every other distro typically bases themselves off of one of these big distro’s. documentation is your friend, that means lots of reading and interpretation, if you’re using a Debian based distros the stress ng repository linked above has this in their documentation - Debian packages for Ubuntu Recent versions of stress-ng are available in the Ubuntu stress-ng ppa for various Ubuntu releases: launchpad.net/~colin-king/+archive/…/stress-ng (run the commands below to install the software) sudo add-apt-repository ppa:colin-king/stress-ng sudo apt update sudo apt install stress-ng Now that is installed, they have an examples section.
