Another key difference between the two tools is that conda has the ability to create isolated environments that can contain different versions of Python and/or the packages installed in them.

Do I need pip if I have conda?

Does C have a package manager?

What is Conan and how does it work? Conan is a package manager designed for C and C++, meaning it supports multiple platforms and build tools, stores source code, as well as pre-built libraries/binaries in a remote repository.

Why is there no package manager in C++?

Because of this, package management turns from duty of the language into duty of the development toolchain. And since C++ can ran on many operating systems and, on many architectures and on many configurations, different toolchains end up with different tools.

What is difference between conda and conda Forge?

Is Anaconda a compiler for Python?
