package manager


software that controls the system-wide acquisition, installation, upgrading, and removal of programs and utilities. popular package managers include apt-get (for debian-based distros), rpm (for the red hat/fedora clan), pacman (arch linux), portage (gentoo), and various special-purpose programs like pip and npm.

well known as the only right way to install and manage your software, though good luck ever getting a consensus on which package format is the best.
