cppcheck from command line not recognized

Question

I downloaded cppcheck to analyze my C++ programs, successfuly got to work it´s gui environment but I would also like to use it from command line.

In C:\users\me\documents\main.cpp is my cpp program that I try to analyze with cppcheck. When I type cppcheck main.cpp in cmd, I only get a message saying 'cppcheck' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Is there anything I should link my cppcheck with in order to get recognized by command line?

The directory where the cppcheck is installed needs to be in your path or you need to supply the full pathname to it. — Retired Ninja

Ok and should I add that into system variables or user variables? — enneenne

The directory where cppcheck is installed needs to be added to your PATH if not present, or in alternative you have to give the full-pathname to the execution command.
