After the installation process Grepper should start the application or you can find and run the VisualCodeGrepper app on your computer.<br /> <br /> === Step 2 ===<br /> <br /> VCG will show you the warning that you have to select a language before scanning. Confirm this with ok and you will see the GUI of Grepper. <br /> <br /> Click Settings in the navigation bar, here you can change the language to the project language of the project you want to scan.<br /> <br /> === Step 3 ===<br /> <br /> Then click File and select New Target Directory... or use the keyboard shortcut Strg+N.
