Fortran Package Manager install

May 26, 2026

The Fortran Package Manager (fpm) is a tool for building Fortran projects and their dependencies. FPM stands alone, written in Rust, as an alternative to CMake, Meson, or Make for building hierarchies of Fortran projects. The fpm build command is used to build a Fortran project and its dependencies. If a main executable program exists, fpm run runs the executable after building. The fpm install command is used to install a Fortran project and its dependencies. fpm test is used to run tests after building.

FPM itself is easily installed by:

• Windows winget install FortranLang.fpm
• macOS: brew install fpm

In general and including for Linux, downloadable FPM binaries are available from the FPM GitHub releases page.
