Although I could install the software this way, it didn’t work correctly after testing with with several real and dummy C++ codes. It was giving me a memory leak error even with an empty code. So, then I decided to use an Ubuntu 16.04 based Docker container to test the code within the container using the Ubuntu version of Valgrind.

How to Install Valgrind on macOS High Sierra
Valgrind is a programming tool for memory debugging, memory leak detection and profiling. Its installation for macOS High Sierra seems problematic and I wanted to write this post to tell the solution that worked for me. I use Homebrew to install it which is the recommended way and the solution also uses it.
So, when you try installing right away, you may get the following error:
1brew install valgrind 2valgrind: This formula either does not compile or function as expected on macOS 3versions newer than Sierra due to an upstream incompatibility.
