scancode-workbench: An HTML repository from utkarsh4321

ScanCode Workbench provides an advanced visual UI to help you quickly evaluate license and other notices identified by ScanCode and record your conclusion about the effective license(s) for a component. ScanCode detects licenses, copyrights and other interesting information in your code. ScanCode Workbench allows you to take the scan results from ScanCode and create conclusions. By creating these conclusions within your codebase, you are creating a software inventory of your product. The conclusions (Concluded License, Concluded Owner, etc.) you make when creating your conclusion can be exported as a JSON file or saved as SQLite file.

ScanCode Workbench is based on Electron and will be the primary desktop/GUI tool for using nexB’s AboutCode tools. This app works on Windows, OS X and Linux operating systems.

Using

You can download the latest release for your operating system or build it yourself (see below). Once downloaded, you can find ScanCode-Workbench under dist/ScanCode-Workbench-<os>-x64-<version>.
ScanCode Workbench >= v2 is only compatible with scans from ScanCode v2.0.0 and above which are run with the ScanCode -i option. For a list of available ScanCode options see How To: Set what will be detected in a scan

./scancode -clipeu <input> <output_file>

We have provided a set of sample scans that you can quickly review in ScanCode Workbench in order to get a sense of its functionality and the types of information captured by a scan. The samples are located at https://github.com/nexB/scancode-workbench/tree/develop/samples.
Import a ScanCode JSON file, and see what components are in your software! See the documentation for more information on how to use ScanCode Workbench.

Building

You'll need Node.js (which comes with npm) installed on your computer in order to build this app. For a list of platform specific requirements, see the Building section of the documentation. Then, from your command line:

# Clone this repository
$ git clone https://github.com/nexB/scancode-workbench.git

# Go into the repository
$ cd scancode-workbench

# Install dependencies and run the app
$ npm install

# Rebuild native Node.js modules against the app version of Node.js
# MacOS, Linux and Git Bash on Windows
$ $(npm bin)/electron-rebuild
# Windows except for Git Bash
> .\node_modules\.bin\electron-rebuild.cmd

# Run the app
$ npm start

Release Instructions

You can build a dist directory containing executables for any one of three target platforms by running:

$ python build.py

After building is done, you can find ScanCode-Workbench under dist/ScanCode-Workbench-<os>-x64-<version>. Archives (tar.gz and .zip) are also built.

Note: A build for any of the three target platforms must be executed on the targeted platform.

Testing

Test ABCM functionality using:

$ npm test
