Choosing an Installation Directory

FlexNet Code Insight 6.13.2

The following instructions assume that the core/scan engine are located on the same server.

Select a base directory on the Core/Scan Engine server where FlexNet Code Insight and all related content will be installed. This directory is referred to as <Code Insight_ROOT_DIR> in this document.
For Windows, the recommended location is C:\CodeInsight.
For Linux, the recommended location is $HOME/apps/CodeInsight.

Linux users, we strongly recommended that you create a new FlexNet Code Insight user for the system. Do not run the application as root.

You may place the codebase (files to scan) in any location accessible by the Scan Engine server. Although not required, we recommend placing it on a separate drive to avoid the IO operations competing for the same disk space.
When configuring the scan settings for a workspace, you will be prompted to select the scan locations. Files must be visible to the server in order to be scanned.
