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.
