-## Building and Installing
-libaura uses `vcpkg` to manage its dependencies and `cmake` as its build system.
-
-### Configuring vcpkg
-Once vcpkg is installed on your system: 
-1. Set the `VCPKG_ROOT` environment variable to the path of your vcpkg installation's root directory.
-#### Windows
-1. Set `VCPKG_DEFAULT_TRIPLET` to `x64-windows`
-1. Run `vcpkg install boost-locale curl gettext gettext-libintl gtest jsoncpp maddy sqlcipher`
-#### Linux
-1. Set `VCPKG_DEFAULT_TRIPLET` to `x64-linux`
-1. Run `vcpkg install boost-locale curl gettext gettext-libintl glib gtest jsoncpp libsecret libuuid maddy sqlcipher`

+## Installation with Conan
+
+TODO
+
+## Manual Building and Installation
+libaura uses Conan package manager for resolving dependencies and CMake as it's build system.
+
+Ensure both `conan` and `cmake` are installed on your system before building libaura.
+
+A C++20 compiler is also required to build libaura.
+
+### Windows
+Visual Studio 2022 with C++ Desktop workload is required to be installed.
+
+1. First, clone/download the repo.
+1. From the `conan` folder within the repo, copy `conanfile-windows.txt` and `conanprofile-windows.txt` to the root directory of the repo.
+1. Open a terminal and navigate to the repo's root directory.
+1. Run `conan install conanfile-windows.txt --profile:host=conanprofile-windows.txt --profile:build=conanprofile-windows.txt -s compiler.cppstd=20 --build=missing`.
+1. Once that command finishes, cd into the `build` folder.
+1. From the `build` folder, run `cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE="generators/conan_toolchain.cmake"`.
+    - To skip building libaura's test suite, add `-DBUILD_TESTING="Off"` to the end of the command.
+1. From the `build` folder, run ``cmake --build . --config Release`.
+1. After these commands, libaura will be successfully built and its binaries can be found in the `Release` folder of the `build` folder.
+1. To install libaura to the system, from the `build` folder, run `cmake --install . --prefix "PATH_TO_INSTALL_DIR"`.
+    - Replace `PATH_TO_INSTALL_DIR` with the path to a folder to install libaura to. This is usually a dependencies folder set up by the programmer, added to the PATH variable, to allow linking to said dependencies.
+1. If contributing to upstream, remove `conanfile-windows.txt` and `conanprofile-windows.txt` from the repo's root directory as to not accidentally add and commit them.
+
+### Linux
+1. First, clone/download the repo.
+1. From the `conan` folder within the repo, copy `conansettings.yml`, `conanfile-linux.txt`, and `conanprofile-linux.txt` to the root directory of the repo.
+1. Rename `conansettings.yml` to `settings_user.yml`.
+1. Open a terminal and navigate to the repo's root directory.
+1. Run `conan config install settings_user.yml`.
+1. Run `conan install conanfile-linux.txt --profile:host=conanprofile-linux.txt --profile:build=conanprofile-linux.txt -s compiler.cppstd=20 --build=missing`.
+1. Once that command finished, cd into the `build` folder.
+1. From the `build` folder, run `cmake .. -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE="Release/generators/conan_toolchain.cmake" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release`.
+    - To skip building libaura's test suite, add `-DBUILD_TESTING="Off"` to the end of the command.
+1. From the `build` folder, run `cmake --build`.
+1. After these commands, libaura will be successfully built and its binaries can be found in the `Release` folder of the `build` folder.
+1. To install libaura to the system, from the `build` folder, run `cmake --install . --prefix "PATH_TO_INSTALL_DIR"`.
+    - Replace `PATH_TO_INSTALL_DIR` with the path to a folder to install libaura to. This is usually a dependencies folder set up by the programmer, added to the PATH variable, to allow linking to said dependencies.
+    - On linux, `PATH_TO_INSTALL_DIR` would usually be `/usr`.
+1. If contributing to upstream, remove `conanfile-windows.txt` and `conanprofile-windows.txt` from the repo's root directory as to not accidentally add and commit them.
