[question] How do you install packages from the new conan center remote?

I am trying to install the boost/1.72.0 package from the new conan center remote (https://conan.io/center/).

My current remotes are:

conan-center: https://conan.bintray.com [Verify SSL: True]
conan-community: https://api.bintray.com/conan/conan-community/conan [Verify SSL: True]
bincrafters: https://api.bintray.com/conan/bincrafters/public-conan [Verify SSL: True]

The conan install command I am using is:

conan install boost/1.72.0@conan/stable

The current output is:

conan install boost/1.72.0@conan/stable
Configuration:

boost/1.72.0@conan/stable: Not found in local cache, looking in remotes...

ERROR: Unable to find 'boost/1.72.0@conan/stable' in remotes

I did not see anything in the documentation about the new conan center changing it’s remote URL. Is there a new URL or is the new conan center not yet available to the public?

No, the remote is the same for conan-center

You need to remove the @user/channel

Instead of boost/1.72.0@conan/stable it is boost/1.72.0 for conanfiles

Or in the command it is conan install boost/1.72.0@

PS: @ericLemanissier was faster PSS: the @conan/stable ending is for packages originating from conan-community

[Croydon]

Adding just the @ is just for CLI commands. If you have a conanfile.py or conanfile.txt you don’t need the @ for recipe references

The reason is backwards compatibility for existing CLI calls. A command like conan create . bincrafters/stable interprets the last argument as user/branch, while calls with @ like conan create . boost/1.72.0@ are interpreted as recipe/version
