<h1>CodeChecker: running the analyzer from the command line</h1>

<h2>Basic Usage</h2>

<p>
Install CodeChecker as described here: <a href="https://github.com/Ericsson/codechecker/#Install-guide"> CodeChecker Install Guide.</a>
</p>

<p>
Create a compilation database. If you use cmake then pass the <tt>-DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=1</tt> parameter to cmake. Cmake will create a <tt>compile_commands.json</tt> file.
If you have a Makefile based or similar build system then you can log the build commands with the help of CodeChecker:
<pre class="code_example">
make clean
CodeChecker log -b "make" -o compile_commands.json
</pre>
</p>

<p>
Analyze your project.
<pre class="code_example">
CodeChecker analyze compile_commands.json -o ./reports
</pre>
</p>

<p>
View the analysis results.
Print the detailed results in the command line:
<pre class="code_example">
CodeChecker parse --print-steps ./reports
</pre>
Or view the detailed results in a browser:
<pre class="code_example">
CodeChecker parse ./reports -e html -o ./reports_html
firefox ./reports_html/index.html
</pre>
</p>

<p>
Optional: store the analysis results in a DB.
<pre class="code_example">
mkdir ./ws
CodeChecker server -w ./ws -v 8555 &
CodeChecker store ./reports --name my-project --url http://localhost:8555/Default
</pre>
</p>

<p>
Optional: manage (categorize, suppress) the results in your web browser:
<pre class="code_example">
firefox http://localhost:8555/Default
</pre>
</p>
