Package management system



A package management system is a collection of tools to automate the process of installing, upgrading, configuring, and removing software packages from a computer. The term is most commonly used with regards to Unix-like systems, particularly Linux, as these systems rely heavily on it, with thousands of discrete packages on a typical installation being common.
