It can be installed on any version of Windows and 64-bit architecture

SonarQube CE has several requirements, including:

After downloading the .zip Sonarqube installation package, then edit the "sonar" config file in the "conf" folder to set the DB username/pwd, encryption, and SSL

Then, access the C:\ SQ installation folder, switch to \bin, and Windows subdirectory and run the sonarqube.bat file

Access SQ by opening my browser on https://localhost/9000 - SQ uses port 9000

For username/pwd use the "admin" default username and the default "admin" p/w.

It is recommended to configure the SonarQube Windows Service.

For troubleshooting, access the installation directory, then under logs find the "sonar" and "web" log files to inspect.
