Direct answer

Install Radar

Install the native Code Radar CLI on macOS, Windows, or Linux, verify the binary, and prepare a first local security scan.

What is the fastest path for installing Code Radar?

Installing Code Radar means downloading the native CLI, verifying the binary with `radar --version`, and activating Free Preview before the first local security scan.

Which commands matter first for installing Code Radar?

Start with the installer command, `radar --version`, and `radar activate --free --email <your-email>`. These commands keep implementation proof close to the repository instead of turning the docs page into a generic product description.

What evidence confirms installing Code Radar works?

Confirm a working CLI binary, successful activation state, and a quick scan that runs without requiring hosted project setup. This evidence should be visible before moving from documentation to a paid or shared workflow.

What should the reader avoid for installing Code Radar?

Do not assume the scanner is ready until the binary version and activation state are both visible. Next step: Run the local scan doc next, then choose reports, hooks, MCP, or GitHub Actions based on the workflow owner.

Content decision bridge

Turn installation workflow into a product decision.

Readers on Install Radar need a short route from answer-seeking to proof, rollout, and purchase evidence. Install the native Code Radar CLI on macOS, Windows, or Linux, verify the binary, and prepare a first local security scan.

Verify the proof surface.

Install Radar should lead to product proof, not only more reading. For this page, proof means a first local scan on real code with inspectable findings.

Apply the repeat workflow.

Install Radar becomes useful when the reader can repeat the workflow from the guide on a real repository. Here, rollout means a repeatable local scan, report, hook, or agent handoff.

Choose the paid boundary.

Install Radar should create a purchase path only when the product owns the next repeated job. For this intent, buying is justified by full local scans, exports, MCP, hooks, or repository validation.
