InstallationπŸ”—

The Filesystem Scanner is distributed as a zip package named cs-host-scanner-<VERSION>-x86_64-<PLATFORM>.zip. When you extract this package, it creates a directory named cs-host-scanner-<VERSION>-x86_64-<PLATFORM> that contains an executable cs-host-scanner file, the required libraries for Windows, and a README file. For instance:

LinuxπŸ”—

cs-host-scanner-0.9.6-x86_64-linux/
β”œβ”€β”€ cs-host-scanner
└── README.md

WindowsπŸ”—

cs-host-scanner-0.9.6-x86_64-windows\
β”œβ”€β”€ cs-host-scanner.exe
β”œβ”€β”€ libffi-6.dll
β”œβ”€β”€ libgmp-10.dll
β”œβ”€β”€ zlib1.dll
└── README.md

You can move the cs-host-scanner-<VERSION>-x86_64-<PLATFORM> directory anywhere on your system.

Caution

If you move the executable file, make sure to also move the DLLs. They must be in the same directory.
