QA-MISRA Installation Guide

The attached document is a detailed installation and configuration guide for QA-MISRA, a static analysis tool for C code, covering system requirements, installation, licensing setup, launching the client and server, and troubleshooting advice. Here is a summary of the key points in the guide:

• QA-MISRA consists of a server component and a client GUI. The server performs the analysis and requires a license. The client is used to manage projects and view analysis results.
• The guide provides system requirements and installation instructions for Linux and Windows.
• Licenses can be node-locked or served from a network license server. Instructions are provided for setting up licensing using Sentinel RMS.
• The environment variables LSERVRC and LSFORCEHOST need to be configured to point to the license server or license file. This is done via the QA-MISRA Server Controller.
• The QA-MISRA Server Controller allows starting, stopping, and configuring the analysis server. The client GUI is used to create projects, run analyses, and explore results.
• Instructions are included for uninstalling QA-MISRA on both Linux and Windows.
• Troubleshooting tips are provided, for example, if required libraries are missing or licensing is not configured correctly.
