Conio2.h Installation and Configuration

I prepared this document for some colleagues who were having difficulty installing the Conio2.h package for the Dev-C++ IDE. This package includes a library with functionality for developing applications written in C/C++.

To continue with this guide, you need to have Dev-C++ installed.

First we should Download the Conio2.h package from SourceForge.

After downloading it, we should run the file with the “DevPak” extension.

A setup will appear, click the “Install” button as shown in the image below:

Now click the “Finish” button as shown in the image below:

Let’s make sure the Conio2.h library was installed, as shown in the image below:

Now we need to configure Dev-C++ to use the library. Go to the “Tools” > “Compiler Options” menu, as shown in the image below:


Add the following command "-lconio", as shown in the image below:


Now you can enjoy the Conio2.h library.
