What we’re about

This group is for Conan and C/C++ Enthusiasts across the Globe. Conan is an MIT-licensed, Open Source package manager for C and C++ development, allowing development teams to easily and efficiently manage their packages and dependencies across platforms and build systems.

Conan works in any platform, Windows, Linux, Mac, FreeBSD, cross-building to iOS, Android, embedded, bare metal, and can integrate natively with any build system, CMake, Visual Studio, Makefiles, Meson, Autotools, etc

Today there are thousands of companies using Conan successfully to build their products!

The Conan package manager lets developers capture the artifacts which are created during builds of libraries and applications and store them as a “Conan Package”. This is often a combination of headers and libraries (static or dynamic), but can also include executables. Developers can then list the “Conan Packages” needed for other projects as “dependencies”, and Conan will pass all the artifacts to those projects as needed. With this strategy, package management with Conan provides a first-class mechanism for reusing code and sharing components across many projects. Finally, Conan has a server application upon which Conan repositories can be created. The Conan client can then upload and download Conan packages from these repositories, enabling developers to share packaged components among their teams, and across different development environments.
