Choosing an Installation Directory

The following instructions assume that the Core/Scan Server are located on the same instance.

•

Select a base directory on the Core/Scan Server where 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 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 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.
