Evaluate throughput from capture logs
Please download the pre-compiled binary from Latest Release. If you are using Windows, please download the zip file like tbx-xx.x.xxx-win.zip. Then, extract the archive and place tbx.exe on the Desktop folder.
The watermint toolbox can run from any path in the system if allowed by the system. But the instruction samples are using the Desktop folder. Please replace the path if you placed the binary other than the Desktop folder.
This document uses the Desktop folder for command example.
Windows:
cd $HOME\Desktop
.\tbx.exe dev diag throughput
macOS, Linux:
$HOME/Desktop/tbx dev diag throughput
Note for macOS Catalina 10.15 or above: macOS verifies Developer identity. Currently, tbx is not ready for it. Please select “Cancel” on the first dialogue. Then please proceed “System Preference”, then open “Security & Privacy”, select “General” tab.
You may find the message like:
“tbx” was blocked from use because it is not from an identified developer.
And you may find the button “Allow Anyway”. Please hit the button with your risk. At second run, please hit button “Open” on the dialogue.
