Summary
In this chapter, we went through the installation process of the Sonar platform, configured a MySQL database to store Sonar data, and made a backup of our new instance. To meet the needs of an enterprise development environment, we further secured our instance, limited access to configuration and system settings, and created sample groups and users.
Finally, we focused on maintenance tasks such as installing plugins and updating the platform by using Sonar's Update Center.
In the next chapter, we will put our fresh instance to the test by analyzing projects with all available methods, customize the Sonar dashboard, and configure its widgets and interface components.
