### [Desktop Integration](desktop-integration)

Start by testing SCANOSS locally on your development machine:

1. **Install [SCANOSS-PY](license-dataset/snippet-detection/scanoss-py)** and [SCANOSS-CC](license-dataset/snippet-detection/scanoss-cc)
2. **Navigate to your project directory**
3. **Run a scan** with [SCANOSS-PY](license-dataset/snippet-detection/scanoss-py#getting-started) or [SCANOSS-CC](license-dataset/snippet-detection/scanoss-cc#getting-started)
4. **Declare components** using [SCANOSS-CC](license-dataset/snippet-detection/scanoss-cc#gui-workflow) or [SCANOSS Settings](license-dataset/scanoss-settings)
5. **Setup [Pre-Commit Hooks](license-dataset/snippet-detection/pre-commit-hooks)**
6. **Test pre-commit** by making a commit

### [CI/CD Integration](cicd-integration)

Automate scanning in your CI/CD pipeline:

1. **Setup [GitHub Actions](process-integrations/github-actions)** workflow
2. **Configure API secrets**
3. **Set trigger events** (push, pull requests)
4. **Define [compliance policies](process-integrations/github-actions#policy-checks)**
5. **Review scan results**
6. **Download SBOMs** from workflow artifacts

### [Advanced Analysis](advanced-analysis)

Extend your analysis with encryption and security scanning:

1. **Run [encryption scan](encryptiony-dataset/overview)** to detect algorithms
2. **Review detected cryptographic implementations**
3. **Run [vulnerability scan](ecurity-dataset/overview)** to identify CVEs
4. **Assess risk levels** for detected vulnerabilities
5. **Export comprehensive reports** using [SBOM Workbench](license-dataset/sbom-creation/sbom-workbench)

### [Continuous Monitoring](continuous-monitoring)

Establish ongoing monitoring and compliance:

1. **Integrate with [Dependency Track](process-integrations/dependency-track)** for continuous monitoring
2. **Track vulnerabilities and components** over time
3. **Setup [ORT Integration](process-integrations/ort-integration)** for compliance automation
4. **Define policy rules** for your organization
5. **Generate compliance reports** automatically
6. **Monitor alerts** and prioritize remediation
