The osmium command line tool is available as a pre-compiled software package on some popular linux distributions. It should be quite easy to install.

On Debian and derivatives (e.g. Ubuntu) you can install it with: ‘sudo apt-get install osmium-tool’. Similarly on Fedora there is an RPM package called osmium-tool. 

On MacOS you can install it with 'brew install osmium-tool'.

It looks like there are no easily available build of osmium-tool for Windows. This is fairly common for open source software. Many FOSS developers have little or no experience with Windows or actively avoid it. If you’re going to be building data pipelines using a lot of open source tools it’s probably worth having a machine (or virtual machine) with a unix-like OS on it.

Here is a support issue where people were setting up a Windows build of osmium. It looks like it was eventually abandoned because there was no one to maintain it. https://github.com/osmcode/osmium-tool/pull/105 <https://github.com/osmcode/osmium-tool/pull/105>
