# Runtime Information

The Runtime Information feature pops up a dialog showing information about the internal settings of the active Ghidra installation. It is primarily a diagnostic tool to aid in debugging.

To display the Runtime Information dialog:

- From the Project Window, Select Help Runtime Information from the menu.

Runtime Information categories are organized in tabs. The following categories are provided:

- Version - Ghidra, Operating System, and Java version information. Clicking the Copy button will copy this information to the clipboard for easy transfer into a bug report.
- Memory - JVM memory usage. Clicking the Collect Garbage button will suggest to the JVM that garbage collection should run.
- Application Layout - Ghidra application layout information, including directory locations.
- Properties - Defined JVM system properties for the active Ghidra application.
- Environment - Defined environment variables for the active Ghidra application.
- Modules - A list of discovered Ghidra Modules.
- Extension Points - A list of discovered Ghidra Extension Points.
  Note: Extension Points differ from Extensions. Extension Points are classes that Ghidra will find at startup. Extensions are additional Ghidra Modules that can be installed by the user. Further, Extensions may contain Extension Points.
- Classpath - The ordered classpath for the active Ghidra application.
- Extensions Classpath - The ordered extensions classpath, if the ghidra.extensions.classpath.restricted property is set (see support/launch.properties).
