# Generating a report

A console-based report is generated using the parameter `--report-console`: the system will try to adapt to the terminal capabilities, while it's possible to disable all ANSI escaping specifying `--report-console:nocolor`.

An HTML report is generated on the file system using the parameter `--report-file=/path/to/file`. Please note that such file is just a “pointer” to the online report, so you will need internet access to view it using your browser.

 A JSON formatted report can also be generated, assuming your company is entitled to an “enterprise” plan. using the parameter `--report-json=/path/to/file`. 

A PDF formatted report can also be generated, assuming your company is entitled to an “enterprise” plan. using the parameter `--report-pdf=/path/to/file`.
