     1.1.  Navigate to http://www.codemri.com/installers and download CodeMRI® Scanner. If you have not done so already, create a CodeMRI® account by clicking on the "Sign up" link. Contact support@silverthreadinc.com if you do not see a link to download scanner after you have created your account and verified your e-mail address.

     1.2.  Unzip CodeMRI Scanner.zip into a directory, there will be two files.

     1.3.  Double-click setup.exe to run the installer. It may take a minute to launch the installer. (If you accidentally double click twice you will get a Windows error message saying it can't create the directory - this is an unfortunate Windows message but it won't interfere with the installation and you should just ignore it.)

• During the installation, a console window (below) may appear. Do not attempt to close this window-- doing so will cause installation to fail.

     2.1.4.  Once you have filled in your details, click Next to proceed.

2.2 Completing the Scan

     2.2.1. Enter the directory you would like to place output files in. Please note that this directory will be cleared at the beginning of the scan; we highly recommend creating a new, empty, folder and using that folder as the output directory. 

     2.2.2.  Add one or more codebases to scan using the buttons on the button group below:

          a. Add Codebase from Folder: Add a single codebase from a folder. Scanner will attempt to automatically detect the codebase name and version from the name of the folder as <name>-<version> (i.e. MyProject-1.0 would be MyProject version 1.0). You may need to fill in these fields manually or correct them if Scanner does not infer the correct ones.

          b. Add Codebase from Archive: Add a single codebase from an archive file. Scanner supports the following archive formats:

          c. Tar and compressed variants: .tar, .tar.gz, .tgz, .tar.bz2, .tb2, .tbz2

          d.  Zip: .zip

          e.  Source RPM: .rpm

          f.  Add Directory Containing Codebases: Add multiple codebases from a folder containing one or more archives or subfolders. 

     2.2.3.  Verify and correct any incorrect information in the codebase descriptions added. To change values, click Image Modified to expose the edit fields, and then click Image Modified to confirm the changes.

     2.2.4.  Click "Next" to proceed to the settings pane.

     2.2.5.  Click "Scan" to begin scanning your codebase. The scan may take anywhere from a minute to several hours depending on the size of your codebase.

     2.2.6.  Once complete, the results will be available under "View Output Files". Results for individual systems in the scan will be present under the folder name of <name>-<version>. 


Image Modified

     2.2.7.  Click "View Output Files" and then "Show Files" to open up the folder containing scan data. The Create Archive and Direct Upload options are currently not supported, however Windows provides a simple way to zip up a folder:

          a.  Right click on the output folder in Windows explorer.

          b.  Hover over "Send To" to expose the submenu.

          c.  Click on Compressed (zipped) folder. After compression completes, you will see that a Zip file has replaced the output folder.

     2.2.8.  Send the zipped folder securely to our Amazon cloud using the upload feature:

          a.  After signing in to your CodeMRI® account, click the user dropdown. 

          b.  Click "Upload"

     2.2.9.  Click Image Modified, then select the zipped folder you created. There is a 5GB limit on files uploaded via the upload button. If you are scanning multiple codebases, and the size of the result folder is over 5GB, we recommend zipping the individual folders and sending them one at a time. If you have a single codebase whose results are over 5GB in size, contact support@silverthreadinc.com for guidance.
