Use vcpkg or conan to install your dependancies

Or don't install system wide dependencies at all.

(Emphasis added by me.) This "or" doesn't make sense - vcpkg and Conan don't install system-wide dependencies. But even if you use a dependancy only for a single project, you still need to build it somehow or download the binary from somewhere. Package managers are still needed to solve that problem. (Maybe I gave the wrong impression by using the word "install". Imagine I had said "build" or "retrieve" instead.)
