Development tools

Then install these tools with Homebrew

brew install cmake
brew install ninja
brew install llvm
brew install lld
brew install conan

Add these settings to your shell configuration files (.zshrc, .bashrc) for clang and clang++ compilers. Make sure your IDE's compiler settings use these settings

export PATH="$(brew --prefix llvm)/bin:$PATH"

export LDFLAGS="-L$(brew --prefix llvm)/lib -L$(brew --prefix llvm)/lib/c++ -L$(brew --prefix llvm)/lib/unwind -lunwind"
export CPPFLAGS="-I$(brew --prefix llvm)/include"

The newer libc++ is used to build software on older macOS systems. The tools are installed in /usr/local/bin/ and /usr/local/opt/

Conan is integrated with different IDEs including CLion (plugin), Qt Creator (plugin) and Visual Studio Code (plugin) that support CMake-based projects.
