Installation in Windows

Follow the steps below to install FossID CLI on a Windows PC:

1. Extract FossID CLI deliverable.
2. Install the FossID Windows executable by simply copying fossid-cli.exe to a local directory and creating a file called fossid.conf (in the same directory). To be able to scan from any directory it is advisable to have the fossid-cli.exe in the %PATH%. Please check with the path command that the fossid-cli.exe is accessible
3. Configure your FossID CLI by editing the file fossid.conf and entering cli_server_host and cli_token information (you can ignore all the other fields inside fossid.conf for now). The token is unique to each customer is required to perform scans, and you can get it from your delivery portal. If you do not use the FossID servers, the tokens are administered by you scan server administrator. The token serves as a key when using FossID’s servers to scan the knowledge base. If using FossID’s servers to scan the knowledge base, you should have received information regarding cli_sever_host and your unique cli_token when your FossID software was activated.
