By default, vcpkg creates a local binary cache. This saves time when installing a package that has been previously installed in the same machine.
The ___location of the default binary cache depends on your operating system.
By default, binary caching is enabled at the first valid ___location among the following:
- The ___location specified by the
VCPKG_DEFAULT_BINARY_CACHE
environment variable %LOCALAPPDATA%\vcpkg\archives
%APPDATA%\vcpkg\archives
By default, binary caching is enabled at the first valid ___location among the following:
- The ___location specified by the
VCPKG_DEFAULT_BINARY_CACHE
environment variable $XDG_CACHE_HOME/vcpkg/archives
$HOME/.cache/vcpkg/archives
Use the VCPKG_DEFAULT_BINARY_CACHE
environment variable to change the default binary cache
___location.
The default binary cache uses a files
provider. This
type of binary cache provider stores binary packages as compressed archives in a filesystem
directory.
Disabling the default binary cache
To disable the default binary cache, set the VCPKG_BINARY_SOURCES
environment
variable to clear
.
$env:VCPKG_BINARY_SOURCES="clear"
set VCPKG_BINARY_SOURCES=clear
export VCPKG_BINARY_SOURCES=clear
