\title Conan Package Manager
\brief The experimental Conan plugin integrates the Conan package manager.
\l {https://conan.io}{Conan} is a C/C++ package manager that speeds up the
integration of C or C++ libraries into your own project. It's available on
all the \l{Supported Platforms}{supported development platforms}.
Conan can be integrated into most build systems that are integrated into
\QC:
\list
\li \l{https://docs.conan.io/en/latest/integrations/cmake.html}{CMake}
\li \l{https://docs.conan.io/en/latest/integrations/qbs.html}{Qbs}
\li \l{https://docs.conan.io/en/latest/integrations/qmake.html}{qmake}
\li \l{https://docs.conan.io/en/latest/integrations/meson.html}{Meson}
\endlist
The client-server architecture of Conan enables the client to fetch packages
from and upload them to remote servers that act as package storage. The
client creates the packages, and if necessary, handles building them from
sources. Because the client has a local cache for package storage, you can
work offline, as long as no new packages are needed from remote servers.
To use Conan, install it by using \QOI or the tools that
your operating system has. For example, on Windows, you can use the
\c {choco install conan} or \c {pip install conan} command.
\note Enable the Conan plugin to use it.
For each project, you must write a
\l{https://docs.conan.io/en/latest/reference/conanfile.html}{conanfile.py}
or \l{https://docs.conan.io/en/latest/reference/conanfile_txt.html}
{conanfile.txt} file that specifies the needed libraries and packages.
Then, you must edit the build settings of the project to specify the
location of the file and the contents of the Conan install command.
Alternatively, you can automatically set up the Conan package manager for
use with CMake.
