Limitations

• Conanfile must be located next to the uproject file.
• Only works on Windows.
• It doesn't support integration into plugins.

Troubleshooting

The type or namespace name 'type/namespace' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

You must run conan install in your Unreal Project root (where the Source folder is located). Check if Source/ConanBuildInfo/ConanInfo.Build.cs is created.
