1. Upload C++test to a directory on the headless Linux host, e.g.:
   scp ./cpptest_9.4.0.36_linux.tar.gz [email protected]:/tmp/cpptest/cpptest_9.4.0.36_linux.tar.gz
2. Log into the headleass Linux host and navigate to the directory where C++test should be installed, e.g.:
   ssh [email protected]
cd /tmp/cpptest
3. Unpack and launch the default C++test installer, e.g.
   tar xfz cpptest_9.4.0.36_linux.tar.gz
./cpptest_9.4.0.36_linux.sh
   
   
   
   
4. Accept the defaults when prompted (recommended) or modify as needed. C++test and Parasoft Test will be installed:
   
   
   

Setting Up the C++test License

The license can be set as either a local license or through a license server.

Local License

1. Obtain the machine ID. You can run a simple command to accomplish this task, e.g.
   cd /tmp/cpptest/parasoft/cpptest/9.4
./cpptestcli -data ./workspace -config "builtin://Effective C++"
   
   
   
   
2. Create a settings file with license settings:
   
   

License Server

1. Configure the settings file with license properties:
   
   

Testing Headless Installation

1. Prepare sample project for testing, e.g.:
   cd /tmp/cpptest/parasoft/cpptest/9.4/examples/ATM
make CC=”../../cpptestscan g++”
cd /tmp/cpptest/parasoft/cpptest/9.4
./cpptestcli -data /tmp/cpptest/workspace -bdf ./examples/ATM/
cpptestscan.bdf -settings /tmp/cpptest/settings
   
   
   
   
2. Execute Coding Standards run of C++test CLI, e.g.:
   cd /tmp/cpptest/parasoft/cpptest/9.4
./cpptestcli -data /tmp/cpptest/workspace -config "builtin://Effective C++" -report /tmp/cpptest/reports -settings
/tmp/cpptest/settings
   
   
   
   
3. When the test finishes, generate a test report, e.g.:
   cd /tmp/cpptest/reports
elinks ./report.html
