# vcpkg Package Manager

The experimental vcpkg plugin integrates the vcpkg C/C++ package manager.

vcpkg is available on all the supported development platforms.

You can use Qt Creator to create and edit `vcpkg.json` files to specify packages to build as part of your project when using CMake as the build system.

Note: Enable the Vcpkg plugin to use it.

## Setting vcpkg Preferences

By default, vcpkg is automatically set up for use with CMake. To disable automatic setup, select Preferences > CMake > General > Package manager auto setup.

To set the Path to the directory where you installed vcpkg, select Preferences > CMake > Vcpkg.

Select to download vcpkg if you have not installed it yet.
