Manually Installing Fortify Software Security Content

You can install Fortify Software Security Content (Fortify Secure Coding Rulepacks and metadata) automatically during the installation. However, you can also download Fortify Software Security Content from the Fortify Rulepack update server, and then use the fortifyupdate command-line tool to install it. This option is provided for deployment environments that do not have access to the Internet during installation.

Use fortifyupdate to install Fortify security content from either a remote server or a locally downloaded file.

To install security content:

1. Open a command window.
2. Navigate to the <sca_install_dir>/bin directory.

3. At the command prompt, type fortifyupdate.

   If you have previously downloaded the Fortify Software Security Content from the Fortify Rulepack update server, run fortifyupdate with the -import option and the path to the directory where you downloaded the ZIP file.

You can also use this same tool to update your Fortify Software Security Content. For more information about the fortifyupdate command-line tool, see Updating Security Content.
