This section describes what you need to do to get started with the Klocwork tools for the first time. More in-depth details are available from our product documentation found online and from within our tools.

Install the Klocwork Server package that is appropriate for your platform. For more information on specific platforms, see the online help.
Set up an integration project and run an analysis. This process includes making sure Klocwork recognizes your compiler, capturing your build specification, creating an integration project and running the integration build analysis. If you'd like to test your installation using our demo project demosthenes with Visual Studio, see Using the demosthenes demo project (Windows) or Using the demosthenes demo project (Linux or Solaris).
Install the desktop plug-ins that are relevant for your development team. For Visual Studio or IntelliJ IDEA, download and install the appropriate desktop plug-in. For Eclipse, install the plug-in from the Eclipse update site. The Downloads section will not appear in the portal until the Klocwork Administrator has deployed the plug-ins. For more information, see Downloading and deploying the desktop analysis plug-ins.
Connect to the integration project. You get the most from desktop static code analysis when you connect a local project to a project on the Klocwork Server. The local project is analyzed quickly while incorporating Klocwork knowledge bases generated on the server where additional source files were analyzed (for example, shared libraries). If you are a Visual Studio user, Klocwork Desktop Analysis displays detected issues as developers work.
