System requirements for PVS-Studio analyzer

Dec 06 2024

PVS-Studio analyzer works on Windows (x86-64 and ARM), Linux (x86-64), and macOS (Intel and Apple Silicon). The tool enables analyzing source code for cross-platform compilers designed for 32-bit, 64-bit, embedded ARM platforms, etc.

PVS-Studio requires at least 2 GB of RAM per processor core (4 GB or more is recommended). However, code analysis runs faster on multi-core systems with a higher number of cores.

Supported programming languages and compilers

See the supported languages and compilers here.

Minimal required version of GCC: 4.2.

Cross-platform IDEs

The PVS-Studio plugin can be integrated into:

For all IDEs (except IDEA and Android Studio), the appropriate language analyzer core (C, C++, C#, or Java) must be installed on the system.

Windows

PVS-Studio works on Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2016, and Windows Server 2012. PVS-Studio supports both 64-bit Windows and ARM architectures.

PVS-Studio requires .NET Framework version 4.7.2 or above. If it is not already installed, it will be automatically installed during the PVS-Studio setup process.

To analyze .NET, .NET Standard, and .NET Framework SDK-style projects, .NET SDK 9.0 is required. To analyze classic .NET Framework projects, .NET Framework 4.7.2 is sufficient if you have Visual Studio or MSBuild versions 2017, 2019 or 2022 installed on your system.

The PVS-Studio plugin can be integrated into Microsoft Visual Studio 2022, 2019, 2017, 2015, 2013, 2012, 2010 development environments. To analyze C and C++ code for embedded systems, the appropriate compiler should be installed on the system running the analyzer.

Note. Integration with Visual Studio 2022 for versions 17.12 and higher is available since PVS-Studio 7.33.

Linux

PVS-Studio works under 64-bit Linux distributions with the Linux kernel versions 3.2.0 and later. To analyze C and C++ code for Linux, cross-platform applications, or embedded systems, the appropriate compiler must be installed on the system. To use the blame-notifier utility for notifying the development team, .NET Runtime 9.0 must also be installed.

The list of tested distributions where PVS-Studio is guaranteed to work:

  • Arch Linux
  • CentOS
  • Debian GNU/Linux
  • Fedora
  • Linux Mint
  • openSUSE
  • Ubuntu
  • And more...

macOS

PVS-Studio supports Intel processors (x86-64) in macOS 10.13.2 High Sierra and later. It also works on Apple Silicon (arm64) processors in macOS 11 Big Sur and above. To analyze C and C++, the appropriate compiler must be installed on the system. To use the blame-notifier utility for notifying the development team, .NET Runtime 9.0 should be installed.

Java

PVS-Studio analyzer for Java works on Windows (x86-64 and ARM), Linux (x86-64), and macOS (Intel and Apple Silicon). The minimum required Java version for running the analyzer is Java 11 (64-bit). A project being analyzed can use any Java version.
