The package manager C and C++ developers deserve.

Create, share and reuse native binaries across your teams. One tool that speaks MSVC, CMake, Meson, Ninja — and plays nicely with the compiler flags you already have.

Why Conan

Three reasons teams pick Conan.

A decentralized, developer-friendly workflow for shipping C and C++ — without wrestling your build system into submission.

01

Universal and portable.

It works in all operating systems including Windows, Linux, OSX, FreeBSD, and others, and it can target any platform, including desktop, server, and cross-building for mobile (Android and iOS), as well as embedded and bare metal devices. It integrates with other tools like Docker, MinGW, WSL, and with all build systems such as CMake, MSBuild, Makefiles, Meson, SCons. It can even integrate with any proprietary build systems.

02

Open source, complexity-free.

It has native integration with JFrog Artifactory, including the free Artifactory Community Edition for Conan, enabling developers to host their own private packages on their own server. Conan is developed by a full team of full-time maintainers who support many thousands of users, from small to big enterprises, alongside an active and awesome community.

03

Any number of binaries.

Not only different binaries but also different build configurations, including different architectures, compilers, compiler versions, runtimes, C++ standard library, etc. When binaries are not available for one configuration, they can be built from sources on-demand. Conan can create, upload and download binaries with the same commands and flows on every platform, saving lots of time in development and continuous integration.
