How To Install cppcheck on Fedora 34
cppcheck is Tool for static C/C++ code analysis
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install cppcheck on Fedora 34.
What is cppcheck
Cppcheck is a static analysis tool for C/C++ code. Unlike C/C++ compilers and many other analysis tools it does not detect syntax errors in the code. Cppcheck primarily detects the types of bugs that the compilers normally do not detect. The goal is to detect only real errors in the code (i.e. have zero false positives).
We can use yum or dnf to install cppcheck on Fedora 34. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install cppcheck.
Install cppcheck on Fedora 34 Using dnf
Update yum database with dnf using the following command.
sudo dnf makecache --refresh
The output should look something like this:
Fedora 34 - x86_64 20 kB/s | 6.6 kB 00:00
Fedora 34 openh264 (From Cisco) - x86_64 1.4 kB/s | 989 B 00:00
Fedora Modular 34 - x86_64 68 kB/s | 6.5 kB 00:00
Fedora 34 - x86_64 - Updates 3.5 kB/s | 6.2 kB 00:01
Fedora Modular 34 - x86_64 - Updates 17 kB/s | 5.9 kB 00:00
Metadata cache created.
After updating yum database, We can install cppcheck using dnf by running the following command:
sudo dnf -y install cppcheck
Install cppcheck on Fedora 34 Using yum
Update yum database with yum using the following command.
sudo yum makecache --refresh
The output should look something like this:
Fedora 34 - x86_64 20 kB/s | 6.6 kB 00:00
Fedora 34 openh264 (From Cisco) - x86_64 1.4 kB/s | 989 B 00:00
Fedora Modular 34 - x86_64 68 kB/s | 6.5 kB 00:00
Fedora 34 - x86_64 - Updates 3.5 kB/s | 6.2 kB 00:01
Fedora Modular 34 - x86_64 - Updates 17 kB/s | 5.9 kB 00:00
Metadata cache created.
After updating yum database, We can install cppcheck using yum by running the following command:
sudo yum -y install cppcheck
How To Uninstall cppcheck on Fedora 34
To uninstall only the cppcheck package we can use the following command:
sudo dnf remove cppcheck
