We provide a source release of Infer packaged with pre-build binaries for clang and facebook-clang-plugins for Linux and MacOS. We encourage you to use this release.
Install the dependencies for your operating system and then follow the instructions
in [Infer's getting-started page ](http://fbinfer.com/docs/getting-started.html ).

opam install -y extlib.1.5.4 atdgen.1.6.0 javalib.2.3.1 sawja.1.5.1
```
## Linux
Here are the prerequisites to be able to compile Infer. Make sure you have
the dependencies installed and opam configured properly. After that either

# Compile clang and Infer from source
Infer uses a special version of clang along with a clang plugin. Follow these instructions to compile them from source. Alternatively, you can skip these instructions and use the [release ](http://fbinfer.com/docs/getting-started.html ).
```bash
# Checkout Infer
git clone https://github.com/facebook/infer.git
cd infer
git submodule update --init --recursive
# Compile clang
facebook-clang-plugins/clang/setup.sh # go have a coffee :)
# Compile the clang plugin
./compile-fcp.sh
# Compile Infer
make -C infer
export PATH=`pwd`/infer/bin:$PATH
```
