The most common use case. Conan Center is the default public repository for open-source C++ packages.

conan add remote conancenter https://center.conan.io

After this, running conan install fmt/10.0.0 will fetch the fmt library from Conan Center.

If you need to change the URL of a remote (e.g., your Artifactory server moved):

conan add remote mycompany https://new-artifacts.mycompany.com/artifactory/api/conan/cpp-libs --force

Here are the three most common scenarios where you need to add a remote:

Let’s add the Conan Center Index (though it’s often there by default, if removed, you add it back like this):

conan remote add conancenter https://center.conan.io

Fix: Check the remote order. Your private remote is likely after Conan Center. Use conan remote list and re-add with --insert.
