Fortran Package Manager (fpm) is a package manager and build system for Fortran, with a user interface modeled after Rust's Cargo. It simplifies building Fortran programs and libraries, running tests and examples, and distributing packages as dependencies via local or online registries.

Use cases

• build a fortran project
• manage fortran package dependencies
• create a new fortran project scaffold
• run fortran tests and examples
• publish a fortran library to a registry
• configure build profiles and compiler flags for fortran

When to choose

• you are starting a new Fortran project and want a modern Cargo-like workflow
• you want simple dependency management and a package registry for Fortran
• you need cross-platform builds of Fortran code without writing Makefiles

When to avoid

• you have a large legacy Fortran codebase with complex existing build systems like CMake
• you need features beyond fpm's current prototype-stage capabilities
• you are not working with Fortran (this is unrelated to Jordan Sissel's fpm)
