installationconan-2

How do I tell conan2 where to install things?

With conan 1.x, we installed using

conan install -if="/path/to/installation/target" /path/to/dir/with/conanfile.py

but now, with Conan 2.0.16, conan install doesn't seem to have an -if or similar argument, and I don't know where it installs by default, either. How do I choose the install folder?

Solution

  • I believe the Conan 2 migration guide has the info you're looking for:

    In addition the --install-folder has been replaced with --output-folder. You might need to provide both arguments in Conan 1.X as some legacy generated files (conaninfo.txt, conanbuildinfo.txt, etc) are not affected by --output-folder.
