installed program "cppcheck" but command "where cppcheck" (on windows command line) can't find anything


I downloaded and installed the program "cppcheck" (http://cppcheck.sourceforge.net/).

This program has both a GUI (which I can access without problems) and a command line interface. However, when I go to the windows command prompt and type "where cppcheck", nothing can be found.

Am I crazy? Or is the command line interface for cppcheck only accessible on Unix systems?


Solution

  • Since I usually don't work with Windows, I didn't realise that the "where" command just looks in the current folder and child folders of the current folder. That's why I didn't get any results.
