+# Using BayesNet with Conan
+
+This document explains how to use Conan as an alternative package manager for BayesNet.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+```bash
+pip install conan
+```
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### As a Consumer
+
+1. Create a `conanfile.txt` in your project:
+```ini
+[requires]
+bayesnet/1.1.2@user/channel
+
+[generators]
+CMakeDeps
+CMakeToolchain
+
+[options]
+
+[imports]
+```
+
+2. Install dependencies:
+```bash
+conan install . --build=missing
+```
+
+3. In your CMakeLists.txt:
+```cmake
+find_package(bayesnet REQUIRED)
+target_link_libraries(your_target bayesnet::bayesnet)
+```
+
+### Building BayesNet with Conan
+
+```bash
+# Install dependencies
+make conan-init
+
+# Build debug version
+make conan-debug
+make buildd
+
+# Build release version
+make conan-release
+make buildr
+
+# Create package
+make conan-create
+```
+
+## Current Limitations
+
+- Custom dependencies (folding, fimdlp, arff-files) are not available in ConanCenter
+- These need to be built as custom Conan packages or replaced with alternatives
+- The conanfile.py currently comments out these dependencies
+
+## Creating Custom Dependency Packages
+
+For the custom dependencies, you'll need to create Conan recipes:
+
+1. **folding**: Cross-validation library
+2. **fimdlp**: Discretization library
+3. **arff-files**: ARFF file format parser
+
+Contact the maintainer or create custom recipes for these packages.
+
+## Package Distribution
+
+Once custom dependencies are resolved:
+
+```bash
+# Create and test package
+make conan-create
+
+# Upload to your remote
+conan upload bayesnet/1.1.2@user/channel -r myremote
+```
