# Installing and updating PVS\-Studio on Linux

PVS\-Studio is distributed as Deb/Rpm packages or an archive\. Using the installation from the repository, you will be able to receive updates about the release of a new version of the program\.

The distribution kit includes the following files:

* pvs\-studio \- the kernel of the analyzer;
* pvs\-studio\-analyzer \- a utility for checking projects without integration;
* [plog\-converter](https://pvs-studio.com/en/docs/manual/0038/#plog-converter) \- a utility for converting the analyzer report to different formats;
