You can install a special version of Performance Analyzer on a desktop client system and connect to a remote server where the tools are installed.
Requirements of the client system:
Operating system must be Mac OS X, Windows, Linux, or Oracle Solaris.
The version of the Performance Analyzer must match the version of Oracle Developer Studio tools installed on the remote system.

A version of Performance Analyzer for use on a client system is available in a tar file that you can copy to any system including Mac OS X or Windows machines. This version is known as the remote Performance Analyzer client, and enables you to use Performance Analyzer on any system that has Java 1.7 or Java 1.8 available.
The remote Performance Analyzer client is located in the Oracle Developer Studio installation at /install-dir/lib/analyzer/RemoteAnalyzer.tar.
Before you can use Performance Analyzer on a desktop client you must install the special remote version on the client as described in the following task.
Note that on Windows you might need to install an application such as WinZip or 7-Zip to extract the file.
The extracted RemoteAnalyzer directory contains scripts for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and Solaris, and a README.txt file.
