The plugin is also available as a downloadable zip file. Instructions on installing the zip file can be found here.

If you are planning to use the zip file to install the plugin, make sure to read the license first. You are allowed to use SemmleCode only if you agree to all the conditions in the license.



SemmleCode should now be set up for use on your machine. You can now proceed to the tutorial to learn how to run and write your own code queries.

By default SemmleCode uses an in-memory database. If you wish to use SemmleCode on large codebases, you may wish to install a more powerful database as SemmleCode's backend. Instructions on how to install a database for SemmleCode's use are available.
