I was using the conan-center as my remote.

OK. So, the cpr library isn't presently used. It's there in the build system from when I was messing with plotly online (it's used in online.h to post figures to plotly online.

I'd like to come back to whether an online feature should be kept - so cross-referencing #10 as some discussion should be made.

However, in the meantime at least, I'm quite happy with removing the cpr dependency because I don't think it's actually linked anywhere.

Give me half an hour.

OK. 36 minutes. Give that a try @ShamanTcler

Update I switched to using conan-cmake (https://github.com/conan-io/cmake-conan) in the CMakelists.txt file and then gave it:

conan_cmake_run(
REQUIRES
eigen/3.3.7
nlohmann_json/3.8.0
boost/1.73.0
glog/0.4.0
gtest/1.10.0
tbb/2020.1
IMPORTS
${CONANIMPORTS}
BASIC_SETUP
CMAKE_TARGETS
)

And it compiled but did not link.

The switch to using conan-cmake was because it gets rid of the install issue... though you do need to have a conan.cmake file...

Have you still got the same problem of not linking against cpr? or is it a new problem?
