+scripts
+=======
+
+There are two scripts included at the time this README was written, and they
+both support flamegraph generation on Ubuntu. The first script installs the
+required dependencies:
+
+```sh
+scripts/ubuntu-install-perf.sh
+```
+
+The second script will run Alacritty while recording call stacks. After the
+Alacritty process exits, a flamegraph will be generated and its URI printed.
+
+```sh
+scripts/create-flamegraph.sh
+```
+
+**NOTE**: The _create-flamegraph.sh_ script is intended to be run from the
+alacritty project root.
