Before you begin
Typically, the Klocwork administrator makes the User package available to developers in a centralized tools directory. If you're not sure where the package is located, ask the administrator.
Before installing a new version of the Klocwork User package, uninstall the previous version.
Prerequisites
- JVM version: You must install JVM 1.6 Update 29 or later on your machine before installing the Klocwork Server or User package. If you have a previous JVM version installed and you try to install the Server or User package, you will see the error message, "Version of Java is too old". Apple supplies their own version of Java. Use the Software Update feature on your Mac.
- Access level: When installing the Mac packages, you must have administrator access.
Using the installer GUI
To install, simply copy the installation package to your desktop and run it, following the prompts. Please note the following:
- The User package installs in the following directories:
- /Applications/Klocwork User 9.5/
- /Library/Frameworks/KlocworkUser.framework/Versions/9.5/
- All applications in the User package are installed. You can't do a custom installation.
- Symbolic links are set up in /usr/local/kw/, so you can access command-line tools more easily.
