conan: Install packages, building from source.
$ conan install ${-} --build
try on your machine

The command "conan install ${-} --build" involves using the Conan package manager.

Here is a breakdown of the command components:

  • "conan" is the executable command for Conan.
  • "install" is a subcommand that specifies the action to perform. In this case, it is used to install packages.
  • "${-}" is a placeholder for specifying the package or packages to install. The "${-}" syntax is commonly used in shell scripting to represent command line arguments.
  • "--build" is an optional flag to indicate that any necessary package builds should be performed during installation.

Overall, this command is used to install packages using Conan, and the specific packages to install are represented by "${-}". The "--build" flag indicates that Conan should also build any necessary packages during the installation process if required.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
