How to begin profiling Android device with Xamarin 6.0.1 Community edition

I'm using Xamarin 6.0.1 Community edition. I can't figure out how to start profiling my Android device. I've followed the instructions on the documentation, but I do not have the same options as described in the documentation.

Here is the Documentation I followed

Launching from Xamarin Studio

1.) First, make sure you have your application loaded in Xamarin Studio, and select the (default) Debug configuration.

2.) Browse to Run > Start Profiling in Xamarin Studio, or Analyze > Xamarin Profiler in Visual Studio, to open the Profiler, as demonstrated in the diagram below:

I don't even have a Run > Start Profiling option to select. And if I just open Xamarin Profiler, It doesn't recognize my Android device. It only seems my mac.

You will need a VS Enterprise license to access the profiler features in Windows or OS-X:

NOTE: This is a preview release, however, you’ll need to be a Visual Studio Enterprise subscriber to unlock this feature in either Visual Studio Enterprise on Windows or Xamarin Studio on a Mac.

Xamarin Profiler works with a Visual Studio Enterprise license.
