Please add for every package a small how to setup code snippet, like it is done in artifactory.
e.g.
conan remote add conan-center .. // maybe don't know whether this is necessary
conan install boost/1.72.2
Newbies wants to know how to get this binaries in no way.
also show the options available for the recipe e.g. Poco:enable_crypto=True
this line is unnecessary for sure:
conan remote add conan-center .. // maybe don't know whether this is necessary
conan-center remote is automatically added by the conan client since the beginning
/cc @Dattax
What content would go into the set me up? We removed it because we found it unnecessary.
"conan-center remote is automatically added by the conan client since the beginning"
I think conan install boost/1.72.2 -r conan-center only.
As @SSE4 commented before, conan-center is configured by default, so is unnecessary and can make confusing to newbies.
Any comment @derived-coder ?
yeah, this snippet looks good.
The thing with the options, I don't know.
One quesiton, for what configuration will this download the libraries? I guess the default config?
Maybe, a snippet for downloading only for some specific config is needed?
@Dattax
So what is the current state here?
Even artifactory has a set me up button. The average user will not know how to install a package for this needed profile....
maybe we could show the md file generated by the markdown generator ? The problem is that it depends on the settings and the options
Didn't knew about this generator. Nice.
However, without showing example code how to install and how to consume a package I see
a usage problem for the whole site.
