(6) Build SVF using NPM via Windows Linux Subsystem (WSL)

Follow Microsoft's guide on how to install WSL.
Once WSL is installed the below lines can simply run from any windows command prompt at it will bind the necessary commands into WSL.

wsl
sudo apt-get update -y
sudo apt-get upgrade -y
sudo apt-get install clang -y
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_12.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt install nodejs -y
sudo apt install npm -y
sudo apt-get install cmake -y
sudo npm install svf-tools -g --unsafe-perm

Once installed when in your working directory simply run the wsl command to enter wsl, then you can access the svf-tools commands.
This has been tested with Windows v10.0.18363 + Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

The above installation guide has been tested on OSX 10.10.3 and Ubuntu 14.04, but it should work on most Linux-based systems.
