Navigation Quick Start
Intel® Inspector is a dynamic memory and threading error checking tool for users developing serial and multithreaded applications on Windows* and Linux* operating systems. This topic is part of a tutorial that shows how to find and fix threading errors using the Intel Inspector and a Fortran sample application.
Set up the Intel Inspector Environment
NOTE:
Setting up the Intel Inspector environment is necessary only if you plan to use the inspxe-gui command to launch the Intel Inspector standalone GUI or the inspxe-cl command to run the command line interface.
For the standaloneIntel Inspector, run the <inspector-install-dir>\inspxe-vars.bat command.
The default installation path, <inspector-install-dir>, is inside C:\Program Files (x86)\IntelSWTools\ (on certain systems, instead of Program Files (x86), the directory name is Program Files ).
For the application as part of an Intel® HPC Toolkit or Intel® IoT Toolkit installation, run the <oneapi-install-dir>\env\vars.bat command. The default installation path, <oneapi-install-dir>, is inside C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\oneAPI .
Open the Intel Inspector Standalone GUI

Run the inspxe-gui command.
From the Microsoft Windows* 7 Start menu, select Intel Inspector [version].
