+### Creating a Local Conan Build ##
+
+Building and installing libcaosdb with Conan is just a single command:  
+`conan create . -s "compiler.libcxx=libstdc++11"`
+
+For MacOS, you probably should adjust the option as mentioned above.
+
+### Troubleshooting
+
+#### `conan install` Fails Due to Missing Prebuilts
+
+When `conan install` fails during the installation of the dependencies because
+a precompiled package is not available for your specific settings, try adding
+the `--build=missing` option: `conan install .. [ other options
+] --build=missing`. This should download and compile the sources of the
+dependencies.
