history

Project history and usage

Conan is a decentralized, open-source package manager for C and C++ developers, designed to manage source recipes and binary packages across operating systems, compilers, architectures, build systems, and private or public remotes.

Project history

The Conan repository was created in 2015 and reached a 1.0 release in January 2018. Its 2.0 release followed in February 2023, marking the current major generation of the client and documentation while Conan 1.x remained documented separately as a legacy line.

Adoption history

Conan became important in C and C++ packaging because it addressed binary compatibility, cross-building, and private package hosting in ecosystems that historically relied on system package managers, vendored dependencies, or build-system-specific fetch logic. The official README highlights production use, integration with Artifactory, and a large community around GitHub, Slack, ConanCenter, and earlier Bintray-era repositories.

How it is used

Typical Conan workflows install dependencies from a conanfile, generate toolchain/build-system files, build or consume binary packages, and authenticate to remotes. Conan 2 stores user-level configuration under the Conan home, including global.conf, profiles, remotes.json, credentials.json, and source_credentials.json.

Why package nerds care

For package-manager watchers, Conan is one of the major language-adjacent package managers for native code: it is decentralized, recipe-driven, binary-aware, CI-friendly, and intentionally independent of any single compiler or build system.

Timeline

  • 2015: Official GitHub repository created.
  • 2018: Conan 1.0.0 released.
  • 2023: Conan 2.0.0 released.

Related projects

  • Conan is commonly discussed alongside CMake, Meson, MSBuild, vcpkg, Artifactory, and ConanCenter because those are the build, binary-hosting, and package-index surfaces that shape day-to-day use.

Recommended review

Before unattended agent use, check whether the tool reads plaintext credentials, writes remote state, publishes artifacts, or shells out to plugins.
