php-cliphp-xmlphp-json./phoronix-test-suite/install-shPackages will need to be downloaded during the first run. If these fail, it is possible to download packages using

NOTE:download-cachedirectory may need to be created.
By default, the built in result viewer will spawn a webserver at http://localhost:[RANDOMPORT]. A static port can be specified in the config file and you can also set it to bind on the external IP, not just localhost access.
In order to make these changes in Linux, you will need to edit the /etc/phoronix-test-suite.xml file.
In order to make these changes in Windows, you will need to edit the C:\Users\<USER>\.phoronix-test-suite file
The section you will need to change is <ResultViewer>
In this section, set <WebPort> from RANDOM to whatever port number you desire.
Then change <LimitAccessToLocalHost> from TRUE to FALSE so that the webserver can be accessed remotely
Save and exit the file, now run phoronix-test-suite start-result-viewer and access the page at http://[HOST]:[PORT]
Firewall may need to be opened in order to access the pages remotely.

Some dependencies will need to be installed, so update apt and upgrade packages
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
These dependencies are usually 'php-cli' and 'php-xml' (on Red-Hat-like distros 'php-json' was also required)
sudo apt install php-cli php-xml
Run the benchmark suite as required, in this example we will run the memory benchmark.
