REQUIREMENTS

https://blackfire.io/getting-started#installation

Install the repo so you can install the binaries

Install the Agent with your server credentials from :https://blackfire.io/account/credentials#server

Install the Agent Service

Configure the Client – run “blackfire config”

Install the Probe

INSTALLATION

You can run it via a convenient chrome extension or the command line.

(I did not have enough time to figure out how to get it working with a vagrant box setup but the chrome extension would work like magic with a native dev environment)

In my case I am using the command line tool, you can run it like this:

blackfire --slot=7 --samples=10 run ./my-script.php --your-script-options and arguments

Output:

Profiling: [########################################] 10/10
