How to install catch2

Catch2 is developer utility. The project is developed in the open and released under its own licence.

About the project

Catch2 is developer utility. The maintainers own the project, choose releases, and publish their own documentation. This page records a few things worth knowing before you begin.

The project is run by its own contributors rather than by a company. Release cadence, supported platforms and documentation are all decided by the team behind it.

Where the project comes from

There is no single universal route here. Maintainers usually describe the supported options themselves, and the choice varies between platforms and between releases.

Check compatibility first

Look at the supported versions before anything else. Projects narrow their platform range over time, and older systems can be dropped without much warning.

Checking the result

Most surprises here come down to path ordering or to two copies being present at once. Checking which one resolves first usually explains the difference.
