Setup a scanner	Learn how to setup a scanner to use with Corgea

Get Started

Corgea recommends customers use Semgrep because it's free to get started, and easy to use.

Register with Semgrep: [semgrep.dev/login](https://semgrep.dev/login)

Sign up by clicking on Sign in with GitHub or Sign in with GitLab. Follow the on-screen prompts to grant Semgrep the needed permissions and proceed.

<CodeGroup>
```bash OS X
brew install semgrep

OR

python3 -m pip install semgrep

```

```bash Linux
python3 -m pip install semgrep
```

```bash Windows
python3 -m pip install semgrep
```
</CodeGroup>

Log in to your Semgrep account. Running this command launches a browser window, but you can also use the link that's returned in the CLI to proceed:

<CodeGroup>
```bash OS X, Windows, Linux
semgrep login 
```
</CodeGroup>

You can now start to fix issues with Corgea. Go to our [Scanning guide](scanning) to learn more.
