Environment Variables
VCPKG_DOWNLOADS
This environment variable can be set to an existing directory to use for storing downloads instead of the internal
downloads/ directory. It should always be set to an absolute path.
VCPKG_FEATURE_FLAGS
This environment variable can be set to a comma-separated list of off-by-default features in vcpkg. These features are subject to change without notice and should be considered highly unstable.
Non-exhaustive list of off-by-default features:
binarycaching
EDITOR
This environment variable can be set to the full path of an executable to be used for vcpkg edit. Please see
vcpkg help edit for command-specific help.
VCPKG_ROOT
This environment variable can be set to a directory to use as the root of the vcpkg instance. Note that mixing vcpkg repo versions and executable versions can cause issues.
VCPKG_VISUAL_STUDIO_PATH
This environment variable can be set to the full path to a Visual Studio instance on the machine. This Visual Studio instance
will be used if the triplet does not override it via the VCPKG_VISUAL_STUDIO_PATH triplet setting.
Example: D:\2017
VCPKG_DEFAULT_TRIPLET
This environment variable can be set to a triplet name which will be used for unqualified triplet references in command lines.
VCPKG_FORCE_SYSTEM_BINARIES
This environment variable, if set, suppresses the downloading of CMake and Ninja and forces the use of the system binaries.
