Voyager

Package manager for C/C++ software.

Voyager is an enterprise focused package manager for C and C++ that integrates with Artifactory:

Integrates with Visual Studio (MSBuild) and CMake
Host packages in your own network on your own server
Works with the free Community Edition of Artifactory
Easy to use, just call voyager install and then build your software the regular way
Very simple package format, allowing easy packaging of existing software solutions (no need to overhaul your entire build system)

The reason we've created voyager at Prodrive Technologies is that third-party options did not fit our workflow. We have a lot of existing software which would need significant changes to integrate with one of the existing package managers for C/C++.

Installation and usage

To use voyager, install one of the releases and run voyager login to authenticate with an Artifactory server. After that run voyager install to install the dependencies of the project that you want to build. For more information about the usage of voyager, take a look at the documentation site.

Developing

Voyager is written in Python, 3.7 is the recommended version. To develop on the project create a virtual environment and run the python file.

python -m venv env
# On macOS and Linux:
source env/bin/activate
# On Windows:
.\env\Scripts\activate

pip install -r requirements.txt
python cli.py
