title: Is it possible to run the sonarqube scanner without installing the sonarqube?
body: <p>I am trying to follow <a href="https://docs.sonarqube.org/latest/analysis/scan/sonarscanner/#header-2" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this guide</a> and trying to install sonarqube scanner for windows. I have been trying to follow the things listed, however when I run the line <code>sonar.scanner.bat -h</code>, I receive the response: <code>sonar.scanner.bat</code> is not recognized as an internal or external command.
  Yes, I added the path in the environment variables. I also watched some youtube videos. The only thing is that I don't have sonarqube installed on my machine.
  My university has given a site where there is a version of sonarqube, so I thought that it's not needed to install it. (Maybe I am wrong, I am learning about sonarqube). The website is: <code>namewebsite:9000</code></p>
  <p>So, my question is, should I download and install sonarqube on my machine and then try to run the sonarqube scanner, or I am just doing everything wrong?</p>
  <p>Yes, I have tried to run the command from the project folder too and I keep having the same response: <code>sonar.scanner.bat</code> is not recognized as an internal or external command.</p>
  <p>So, I was wondering, what might be the problem</p>
