Install clang-tools binaries (clang-format, clang-tidy) with pip.

• Binaries are statically linked for improved portability.

• Binaries are checked with SHA512 checksum. This ensures:

  1. Downloads are not corrupted.
  2. Old binary builds can be updated.

• Installed binaries are symbolically linked for better cross-platform usage. For example (on Windows), the clang-tidy-13.exe binary executable can also be invoked with the symbolic link titled clang-tidy.exe

  Note

  To create symbolic links on Windows, you must enable developer mode from the Windows settings under "Privacy & security" > "For developers" category.

• Customizable install path.

# create the virtual env in the working directory python -m venv env-name # to activate on Linux: source env-name/bin/activate # to activate on Windows: ./env-name/Scripts/activate

Use clang-tools command to install version 13 binaries.
