At Microsoft, the core of our vision is “Any Developer, Any App, Any Platform” and we are committed to bringing you the most productive development tools and services to build your apps across all platforms. With this in mind, we are thrilled to announce today the availability of vcpkg on Linux and MacOS. This gives you immediate access to the vcpkg catalog of C++ libraries on two new platforms, with the same simple steps you are familiar with on Windows and UWP today.

Vcpkg has come a long way since its launch at CppCon 2016. Starting from only 20 libraries, we have seen an incredible growth in the last 19 months with over 900 libraries and features now available. All credit goes to the invaluable contributions from our amazing community.

In the feedback you gave us so far, Linux and Mac support was the most requested feature by far. So we are excited today to see vcpkg reach an even wider community and facilitate cross-platform access to more C++ libraries. We invite you today to try vcpkg whether you target Windows, Linux or MacOS.

To learn more about using vcpkg on Windows, read our previous post on how to get started with vcpkg on Windows.

Using vcpkg on Linux and Mac

The Vcpkg tool is now compatible with Linux, Mac and other POSIX systems. This was made possible only through the contributions of several fantastic community members

At the time of writing this blogpost, over 350 libraries are available for Linux and Mac and we expect that number to grow quickly. We currently test daily on Ubuntu-LTS 16.04/18.04 and we had success on Arch, Fedora, FreeBSD.
