Overview

This section explains how to install and setup your SonarQube Server.

Try out SonarQube Server

To try out the SonarQube Server platform, follow the Try out SonarQube Server guide.

Install a production instance

To install a production instance, read the SonarQube Server host, and then follow the Introduction.

After the installation

After your server is up and running, you’ll need to install one or more Project analysis setup on the machines where the analysis will be performed.

By default, the sonar-users group has the Execute Analysis global permission, which means that its users can see the branch status of any project, even if they don’t have explicit permissions for it. We recommend that after your trial, you review all global permissions and ensure they comply with your company policy. See Managing permissions #Setting the global permissions for more information.

Upgrade your production instance

To upgrade your production instance, read the Overview and the relevant, version-specific upgrade notes.
