#### Connect using the Arm Performix GUI to a local machine

Performix already includes a built-in `localhost` target through the CLI. However, as of Performix 2026.01, this target is not exposed in the GUI. If you prefer the command line, you can run recipes directly without configuring the target through the GUI. [Skip to the profile the local machine section](#profile-the-local-machine) below.

If you want to target your local machine conveniently through the GUI, use `localhost` in place of `target_host` and select **Username and password** as the authentication method, as shown in the following image. Make sure passwordless `sudo` is enabled for your user account.

Enter the password for your user when prompted

### Connect using the Arm Performix CLI

The CLI is useful for Linux hosts or when you prefer command-line workflows.
