Get started with Perforce Helix Core server

Create a workspace

To start using Perforce Helix Core server, you need to configure your client computer to access the Helix server. We recommend that you use the Helix Visual Client, P4V, to create a client workspaceDirectories on your machine where you work on file revisions that are managed by Helix server. By default, this name is set to the name of the machine on which your client workspace is located, but it can be overridden. Client workspaces, labels, and branch specifications cannot share the same name. for your files. See Creating and managing workspaces in the P4V User Guide.
