## 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.
