What is Conan?
Conan is a package manager for C and C++ that manages both source and prebuilt binary packages, with a focus on handling different build configurations, such as debug versus release, or different compilers. It integrates with build systems including CMake and Meson, and maintains a central repository of package recipes that describe how to build and consume each library. It is commonly used in larger, multi-platform C++ projects, though it also supports C.
