+# Building with conan v2
+
+Check you have conan v2, and add the nrel-v2 remote to grab ruby and swig/4.1.1
+
+```shell
+conan --version
+conan remote add -f nrel-v2 http://conan.openstudio.net/artifactory/api/conan/conan-v2
+```
+
+
+```shell
+conan install . --output-folder=../OS-build-release-v2 --build=missing -c tools.cmake.cmaketoolchain:generator=Ninja -s compiler.cppstd=20 -s build_type=Release
+cd ../OS-build-release-v2
+. ./conanbuild.sh
+
+# Run cmake as usual, but do pass the CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE

+
+Note that is also makes cmake presets, at root of OpenStudio, you can also try `cmake --list-presets`. To configure `cmake --preset conan-release`; to build `cmake --build --preset conan-release`.
+
+
+If you want to update a dependency in the conan.lock, just delete the line, and use this:
+
+
+```shell
+conan install . --output-folder=../OS-build-release-v2 --build=missing -c tools.cmake.cmaketoolchain:generator=Ninja -s compiler.cppstd=20 -s build_type=Release --lockfile-partial --lockfile-out=conan.lock
