About

PAIN (or pain) is a zero-configuration C++ project manager designed to simplify modern C++ development. It provides instant project scaffolding and seamless dependency management. It globally downloads libraries, links them, and auto-generates CMake files so that you can focus purely on coding.

Installers · v3.1

Copy a command tailored to that specific architecture, type, and scope - useful when winget would otherwise pick a different default.

Security

No known CVEs for pain.

Coverage is best-effort and depends on a winget package mapping to an NVD CPE entry. Absence here is not a guarantee of safety.
