Conan
The package manager C and C++ developers deserve.

Conan is an open-source, decentralized, and multi-platform package manager designed for C and C++ developers. It enables teams to create, share, and reuse native binaries across different operating systems, compilers, and build systems. It integrates with popular tools like CMake, Meson, MSBuild, and JFrog Artifactory, and supports cross-compilation for desktop, mobile, embedded, and bare-metal targets.
Conan uses a recipe-based system to define, build, upload, and download binary packages, integrating with existing build tools and private or public package servers like ConanCenter and Artifactory.
