How to install trivy

Trivy is a scanner covering dependencies, containers and infrastructure files. What follows is background, not a walkthrough. The authoritative version always lives with the project's own team.

Paths onto a machine

Nothing universal applies here. Maintainers normally spell out the supported options, and the answer can differ between platforms and between releases.

Who is behind it

The project is self-governed. Whoever maintains it chooses what ships and when, and writes the accompanying material.

Prior checks

Start from the support matrix. It narrows over time, and assumptions made years ago often no longer hold.

Making sense of the result

Most unexpected behaviour traces back to resolution rather than to the project. An older copy sitting earlier in the path, or a version manager pointing somewhere else, will do it every time.

What this domain is

Only text is published from this domain. Each project remains exactly where its authors put it.

On reading release notes

Release notes are the cheapest way to catch a breaking change before it surprises you. They usually list platform shifts and removed defaults in the first few lines.
