The Conan client: this is a console/terminal command-line application, containing the heavy logic for package creation and consumption. The different applications in the image above are: The packages are created by the client, and if binaries are built from sources, that compilation is also done by the client application. They do not build nor create the packages. This means that clients can fetch packages from, as well as upload packages to, different servers (“remotes”), similar to the “git” push-pull model to/from git remotes.Īt a high level, the servers are just storing packages. It is backed and used by a great community, from open source contributors and package creators in ConanCenter to thousands of teams and companies using it.Ĭonan is a decentralized package manager with a client-server architecture. The free JFrog Artifactory Community Edition (CE) is the recommended Conan server to host your own packages privately under your control.Ĭonan is mature and stable, with a strong commitment to forward compatibility (non-breaking policy), and has a complete team dedicated full time to its improvement and support. As it is decentralized, it is easy to run your own server to host your own packages and binaries privately, without needing to share them. With full binary management, it can create and reuse any number of different binaries (for different configurations like architectures, compiler versions, etc.) for any number of different versions of a package, using exactly the same process in all platforms. It is specifically designed and optimized for accelerating the development and Continuous Integration of C and C++ projects. 
It also integrates with all build systems like CMake, Visual Studio (MSBuild), Makefiles, SCons, etc., including proprietary ones. It is free and open-source, works on all platforms (Windows, Linux, OSX, FreeBSD, Solaris, etc.), and can be used to develop for all targets including embedded, mobile (iOS, Android), and bare metal. Conan is a dependency and package manager for C and C++ languages.
