Package Managers - Learn Data Science with Travis

Package-Managers

Package managers are essential tools in software development that automate the process of installing, upgrading, configuring, and removing software packages. They simplify the management of dependencies, which are libraries or frameworks that a project requires to function correctly. By using a package manager, developers can easily access a vast repository of packages, ensuring that they have the right versions and configurations needed for their projects. Popular package managers include npm for JavaScript, pip for Python, and conda for data science applications. Overall, package managers enhance productivity and reduce the complexity of software management.
