| 1 | +Comprehensive Installation |
| 2 | +========================== |
| 3 | + |
| 4 | +ScanCode requires Python 2.7.x and is tested on Linux, Mac, and Windows. Make sure Python 2.7 is installed first. |
| 5 | + |
| 6 | +System Requirements |
| 7 | +------------------- |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +- Hardware : ScanCode will run best with a modern X86 processor and at least 2GB of RAM and 250MB of disk. |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +- Supported operating systems : ScanCode should run on these OSes: |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | + #. Linux: on most recent 64-bit Linux distributions (32-bit distros are only partially supported), |
| 14 | + #. Mac: on recent Mac OSX (10.6.8 and up), |
| 15 | + #. Windows: on Windows 7 and up (32- or 64-bit) using a 32-bit Python. |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +Prerequisites |
| 18 | +------------- |
| 19 | +ScanCode needs a Python 2.7 interpreter. |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +- On Linux: Use your package manager to install python2.7. If Python 2.7 is not available from your package manager, you must compile it from sources. For instance, visit https://github.com/dejacode/about-code-tool/wiki/BuildingPython27OnCentos6 for instructions to compile Python from sources on Centos. |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +- On Ubuntu 12.04, 14.04 and 16.04, you will need to install these packages first: ``python-dev bzip2 xz-utils zlib1g libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev`` |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +- On Debian and Debian-based distros you will need to install these packages first: ``python-dev libbz2-1.0 xz-utils zlib1g libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev`` |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +- On RPM-based distros, you will need to install these packages first: ``python-devel zlib bzip2-libs xz-libs libxml2-devel libxslt-devel`` |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +- **On Windows**: |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | + Use the Python 2.7 32-bit (e.g. the Windows x86 MSI installer) for X86 regardless of whether you run Windows on 32-bit or 64-bit. DO NOT USE Python X86_64 installer even if you run 64 bit Windows. Download Python from this url: https://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.13/python-2.7.13.msi |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | + Install Python on the c: drive and use all default installer options(scancode will try to find python just in c:\python27\python.exe). See the Windows installation section for more installation details. |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +- On Mac: Download and install Python from this url: https://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.13/python-2.7.13-macosx10.6.pkg |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +Do not use Unicode, non-ASCII in your installation Path |
| 38 | +------------------------------------------------------- |
| 39 | +There is a bug in underlying libraries that prevent this. |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +Installation on Linux and Mac |
| 42 | +----------------------------- |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +Download and extract the latest ScanCode release from: |
| 45 | +https://github.com/nexB/scancode-toolkit/releases/latest |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +Open a terminal in the extracted directory and run:: |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | + ./scancode --help |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +This will configure ScanCode and display the command line help. |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +Installation on Windows |
| 54 | +----------------------- |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +- Download the latest ScanCode release zip file from https://github.com/nexB/scancode-toolkit/releases/latest |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +- In Windows Explorer (called File Explorer on Windows 10), select the downloaded ScanCode zip and right-click. |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +- In the pop-up menu select 'Extract All...' |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +- In the pop-up window 'Extract zip folders' ('Extract Compressed (Zipped) Folders' on Windows 10) use the default options to extract. |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +- Once the extraction is complete, a new Windows Explorer/File Explorer window will pop up. |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +- In this Explorer window, select the new folder that was created and right-click. |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | + * On Windows 10, double-click the new folder, select one of the files inside the folder (e.g., 'setup.py'), and right-click. |
| 69 | +- In the pop-up menu select 'Properties'. |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | +- In the pop-up window 'Properties', select the Location value. Copy this to the clipboard and close the 'Properties' window. |

| 80 | + |
| 81 | +- A new 'cmd.exe' window ('Command Prompt' on Windows 10) pops up. |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | +- In this window (aka a 'command prompt'), type the following (i.e., 'cd' followed by a space):: |
| 84 | + |
| 85 | + cd |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | +- Right-click in this window and select Paste. This will paste the path where you extracted ScanCode. |
| 88 | + |
| 89 | +- Press Enter. |
| 90 | + |
| 91 | +- This will change the current location of your command prompt to the root directory where scancode is installed. |

| 93 | +- Then type:: |
| 94 | + |
| 95 | + scancode -h |
| 96 | + |
| 97 | +- Press enter. This will configure your ScanCode installation. |
