Besides building it yourself on the platform of your choice there are several ways to obtain pre-built packages.<br/>

*Note:* The non-Windows packages are not maintained by the Cppcheck team but by the respetive packagers instead.

- (Windows) An official Windows installer is available via the official Cppcheck SourceForge page: https://cppcheck.sourceforge.io/.
241+
- (Linux/Unix) Many major distros offer Cppcheck packages via their integrated package managers (`yum`, `apt`, `pacman`, etc.). See https://pkgs.org/search/?q=cppcheck for an overview.
242+
- (Linux/Unix) Unless your are using a "rolling" distro, it is likely that they are not carrying the latest version. There are several external (mainly unsupported) repositories like AUR (ArchLinux), PPA (ubuntu), EPEL (CentOS/Fedora) etc. which provide such packages.
243+
- (Linux/Unix) The Canonical Snapcraft package is extremely outdated. Please refrain from using it!
244+
- (MacOS) A package is available via Homebrew (`brew`). See https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/cppcheck#default.
