Package-Management

Package management refers to the systematic process of installing, upgrading, configuring, and removing software packages in a computing environment. It plays a crucial role in software development and deployment, particularly in programming languages like Python and R. Package managers streamline the management of software dependencies, ensuring that the correct versions of libraries and tools are available for projects. This helps developers avoid conflicts and maintain compatibility across different environments. By automating tasks such as installation and updates, package management enhances productivity and simplifies the overall software development lifecycle.
