conan config install

The config install is intended to share the Conan client configuration. For example, in a company or organization, is important to have common settings.yml, profiles, etc.

It retrieves a zip file from a local directory or url and apply the files in the local Conan configuration.

The zip can contain only a subset of all the allowed configuration files, only the present files will be replaced, except the conan.conf file, that will apply only the declared variables in the zipped conan.conf file and will keep the rest of the local variables.

The profiles files, that will be overwritten if already present, but won’t delete any other profile file that the user has in the local machine.

All files in the zip will be copied to the conan home directory. These are the special files and the rules applied to merge them:

File	How it is applied
profiles/MyProfile	Overrides the local ~/.conan/profiles/MyProfile if already exists
settings.yml	Overrides the local ~/.conan/settings.yml
remotes.txt	Overrides remotes. Will remove remotes that are not present in file
config/conan.conf	Merges the variables, overriding only the declared variables

The local cache registry.txt file contains the remotes definitions, as well as the mapping from packages to remotes. In general it is not a good idea to add it to the installed files.

The specified URL will be stored in the general.config_install variable of the conan.conf file, so following calls to conan config install command doesn’t need to specify the URL.

Examples:

Install the configuration from an url:
```
$ conan config install http://url/to/some/config.zip
```
Conan config command stores the specified URL in the conan.conf general.config_install variable.
Install from an url skipping SSL verification:
```
$ conan config install http://url/to/some/config.zip --verify-ssl=False
```
This will disable the SSL check of the certificate. This option is defaulted to True.
Refresh the configuration again:
```
$ conan config install
```
It’s not needed to specify the url again, it is already stored.

Install the configuration from a local path:

$ conan config install /path/to/some/config.zip
