How to fix conan new ERROR: Missing definitions for the template. Required definitions are: 'name', 'version'
Problem:
You want to initialize your conan project using a command such as
conan_new.sh
conan new cmake_exe
but you see the following error message:
conan_error_output.txt
ERROR: Missing definitions for the template. Required definitions are: 'name', 'version'
Solution
Conan wants you to specify the name and version of your package using -d name=myproject -d version=1.0.0
.
Full example:
conan_new_with_name_version.sh
conan new cmake_exe -d name=MyPkg -d version=1.0.0
