519+ .SH RUN THE LATEST VERSION
520+ If turbostat complains that it doesn't recognize your processor,
521+ please try the latest version.
522+
523+ The latest version of turbostat does not require the latest version of the Linux kernel.
524+ However, some features, such as perf(1) counters, do require kernel support.
525+
526+ The latest turbostat release is available in the upstream Linux Kernel source tree.
527+ eg. "git pull https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git"
528+ and run make in tools/power/x86/turbostat/.
529+
530+ n.b. "make install" will update your system manually, but a distro update may subsequently downgrade your turbostat to an older version.
531+ For this reason, manually installing to /usr/local/bin may be what you want.
532+
533+ Note that turbostat/Makefile has a "make snapshot" target, which will create a tar file
534+ that can build without a local kernel source tree.
535+
536+ If the upstream version isn't new enough, the development tree can be found here:
537+ "git pull https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/lenb/linux.git turbostat"
538+
539+ If the development tree doesn't work, please contact the author via chat,
540+ or via email with the word "turbostat" on the Subject line.
