vcpkg is a cross-platform open source package manager by Microsoft.[2]

Overview

vcpkg provides access to C and C++ libraries to its supported platforms. The command-line utility is currently available on Windows, macOS and Linux.[3]

vcpkg was first announced at CppCon 2016.[4]

The vcpkg source code is licensed under MIT License and hosted on GitHub.[5]

vcpkg supports Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 and above.

In 2018, Microsoft announced the availability of this installer for Mac and GNU/Linux , among other POSIX systems.[6] As of July 2020, there are 1900 libraries supported by the vcpkg package installer.[7]

In early 2023, JetBrains CLion began supporting vcpkg directly—adding a tool‑window, package browser, install/update actions, vcpkg.json integration, and quick‑fixes for missing packages.[8]

The 2024.01.12 release (January 2024) added 15 new ports (total 2,377), 227 updates, numerous documentation articles—including SBOM support—and refined triplet implementation.[9]

In early 2025, monthly updates continued: tool/releases in January–April including documentation additions, CI commands, performance improvements, offline usage support, Arm64 Linux support, and other bug fixes.[10]
