Windows

This section explains how to setup and start CodeGlass on a Windows machine.

Installation​

  1. Download the latest release from the CodeGlass GitHub repository.
  2. Unzip the downloaded archive to a location on your system. A short path is recommended, for example:
C:\CodeGlass

Some folders inside the package can become quite deep. If the installation path is too long, Windows may complain about path length limits. Using a short base folder helps avoid this problem. After extracting, the folder structure should contain the CodeGlass executables and related files.

Running CodeGlass​

  1. Navigate to the folder where you extracted CodeGlass.
  2. Start the CodeGlass Engine by running:
CodeGlass.Hubs.DotNetCore.exe

This will start the CodeGlass background services and will try to open a browser to the CodeGlass Client.

  1. Log in and start working with the data the CodeGlass Agent collected.

If the browser fails to open automatically, you can manually navigate to:

http://localhost:60340

Config Folder​

The Engine is designed so it does not write files to the folder where it was extracted. This makes it possible to run it from locations that are read-only.

By default, all user-specific files are stored in:

%APPDATA%\CodeGlass

You can override this location by setting the following environment variable before starting the Engine:

CODEGLASS_USERFOLDER_OVERRIDE="override\path"
