They work closely with software repositories, binary repository managers, and app stores.<br /> <br /> Package managers are designed to eliminate the need for manual installs and updates. This can be particularly useful for large enterprises whose operating systems are based on [[Linux]] and other Unix-like systems, typically consisting of hundreds or even tens of thousands of distinct software package.<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> <br /> * [[AppStream]]<br /> * [[Installation (computer programs)]]<br /> * [[List of software package management systems]]<br /> * [[npm (software)]] - package manager for [[Node.js]].<br /> * [[Package format]]<br /> * [[Windows Installer]]<br /> <br /> == External links ==<br /> <br /> * [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Package_manager Package manager] @ Wikipedia<br /> <br /> [[Category:Software]]</div>
