deploy

The deploy generator makes a bulk copy of the packages folders of all dependencies in a graph. It can be used to deploy binaries from the local cache to the user space:

$ conan install OpenSSL/1.0.2r@conan/stable -g deploy
...
Installing package: OpenSSL/1.0.2r@conan/stable
...
Generator deploy created deploy_manifest.txt

Files from dependencies are deployed under a folder with the name of the dependency.

The generated deploy_manifest.txt file is a manifest file with a list of all the files deployed and hash of the contents for each of them.

Tip

You can use the parameter --install-folder in the conan install to output the contents of the packages to a specific folder.
