- Libraries:
- On Linux, HCL®
AppScan® Source
requires the installation of specific libraries before
installing AppScan®
Source. In
addition, the Server with GUI environment
is required when using an RHEL Server installation.To install the libraries, use this command:
The installer will flag any additional libraries needed to run AppScan® Source.yum install -y glibc.i686 libstdc++.i686 yum install -y libnsl-2.28-42.el8_0.1.i686
- On Linux, HCL®
AppScan® Source
requires the installation of specific libraries before

Users of RHEL 7.6 must update
pango
packages per https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2019:0815 . - RHEL 7.7:
RHEL 7.7 is not supported.
- RHEL 7.8 and 7.9.

- JVM
64-bit JVM must be installed prior to running the AppScan® Source installer on Linux.
- Entropy
AppScan® Source requires a minimum entropy value of 3000, as set in /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail. See Increase Entropy Value for additional information.
Hypervisors

Prerequisites
Development tools
To acquire and apply a new AppScan® Source, first obtain the appropriate license through the HCL FlexNet portal, then apply the license using the AppScan Source License Manager. For complete information on licensing for AppScan® Source, see How to obtain and apply licenses for AppScan Source products.

Hardware requirements
Hardware | Components | Requirement | Applicable operating systems |
---|---|---|---|
Disk space | Desktop:
Server:
|
Approximately 15 GB of available drive space. Additional space may be required when scanning large applications. This includes additional space that may be required to accommodate files that are written to your AppScan Source data directory. 1 To clear space in your AppScan Source data directory:
If needed, you can also change your AppScan Source data directory by following the instructions in the Changing the AppScan Source data directory. Large applications that require long scan times can overflow your drive. If you receive an error message regarding storage or drive space, you may need to scan parts of your application separately or alter your scan configuration. Sample error message: Skipping project <project_name> due to error: Thread creation failure ( <OS_error_message - for example: Not enough storage is available to process this command.> ).
Note: When the scan completes, original drive space will
be returned. Before scanning this project again,
allocate more space or change the configuration of your
scan. |
