# Conan support In the [Conan](https://conan.io/) ecosystem, the C/C++ analyser is triggered automatically when a “conanfile.txt", "conanfile.py", "conan.lock" is found in the project If a lockfile exists, the analyser will load the dependencies directly from it. If missing, it will try to generate one using the Conan with the "create lock" command. Failing that, it will revert to a full "install" in order to generate a lockfile and subsequently collect the dependency tree. When using the [thin client](/the-client/client.md), the required tools may have to be installed and configured (Conan). This is not required when using the [dockerized client](/the-client/the-meterian-client-dockerized.md). --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.meterian.io/languages-support/c++/conan-support.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
