installing PMD 6.49.0 to windowsp

Download instructions say to install to C:\pmd-bin-6.49.0. Can this be copied to "C:\Program Files\pmd-bin-6.49.0" instead? Our network policy generally forbids creating folders off the root.

Thanks, - Jeff

Solution

  • You can copy it into any directory - C:\pmd-bin-6.49.0 is just an example. You just need to add a your folder to your PATH environment, e.g. SET PATH=C:\"Program Files"\pmd-bin-6.49.0\bin;%PATH%

    If you don't want to modify the PATH variable, you can still run PMD by providing the full path, e.g. C:\"Program Files"\pmd-bin-6.49.0\bin\pmd.bat -d c:\src -R rulesets/java/quickstart.xml -f text
