pip (also known by Python 3's alias pip3) is a package-management system written in Python and is used to install and manage software packages. [4] The Python Software Foundation recommends using pip for installing Python applications and its dependencies during deployment. [5]
ABS is used by Arch Linux to automate binary packages building from source or even other binary archives, with automatic download and dependency checking; apt-build is used by distributions which use deb packages , allowing automatic compiling and installation of software in a deb source repository;
A package manager deals with packages, distributions of software and data in archive files. Packages contain metadata, such as the software's name, description of its purpose, version number, vendor, checksum (preferably a cryptographic hash function), and a list of dependencies necessary for the software to run properly. Upon installation ...
Conda is an open source, [16] cross-platform, [17] language-agnostic [18] package manager and environment management system [19] [20] [50] that installs, runs, and updates packages and their dependencies. [16] It was created for Python programs, but it can package and distribute software for any language (e.g., R), including multi-language ...
Dependency hell is a colloquial term for the frustration of some software users who have installed software packages which have dependencies on specific versions of other software packages. [ 1 ] The dependency issue arises when several packages have dependencies on the same shared packages or libraries, but they depend on different and ...
For the R programming language, the Comprehensive R Archive Network (CRAN) runs tests routinely. To understand how this is valuable, imagine a situation with two developers, Sally and John. Sally contributes a package A. Sally only runs the current version of the software under one version of Microsoft Windows, and has only tested it in that ...
The tidyverse is a collection of open source packages for the R programming language introduced by Hadley Wickham [1] and his team that "share an underlying design philosophy, grammar, and data structures" of tidy data. [2] Characteristic features of tidyverse packages include extensive use of non-standard evaluation and encouraging piping. [3 ...
R packages are extensions to the R statistical programming language. R packages contain code, data, and documentation in a standardised collection format that can be installed by users of R, typically via a centralised software repository such as CRAN (the Comprehensive R Archive Network).
