Configure the Conan Center remote

Important

The Conan Center remote URL changed for Conan 2 on November 2024 - the new URL is the default on new installations of Conan since version 2.9.2.

New recipe updates are only published to this remote and are only guaranteed to be compatible with recent versions of Conan 2.

All previously published recipes and packages known to be compatible with Conan 2 are also served by this remote.

To update an existing Conan 2 installation:

conan remote update conancenter --url https://center2.conan.io

Conan Center legacy remote

The legacy remote at https://center.conan.io stopped receiving updates on 4 November 2024 and is frozen and will no longer received updates. It is kept in this state to avoid breaking any existing Conan 1.x installations.

⚠️ It is very important to notice that recipes will evolve over time and, while they are fixing some issues, they might introduce new features and improvements, and your project can break if you upgrade them (How to prevent these breaking changes in my project?).
