What is Conan?

Conan is a package manager specifically designed for C and C++ projects. It helps developers manage dependencies, build configurations, and share pre-built libraries across different platforms and build systems like CMake and Visual Studio. Using Conan, you can easily declare project dependencies, fetch them from remote repositories, and integrate them into your build process, simplifying the overall dependency management workflow.
