- Software dependency management is the process of identifying, resolving, and obtaining software dependencies that a project or application relies on. It also includes the removal of any unused or unnecessary dependencies.
- Dependencies can be direct or indirect. Direct dependencies are the libraries, frameworks, or other software components that your application explicitly references in its code. Indirect dependencies are the dependencies of your direct dependencies. For example, if your application uses a library that uses another library, then your application has an indirect dependency on the second library.
- Dependency management is important because it can help to:
Ensure that your application has all of the dependencies it needs to run correctly Avoid conflicts between different versions of dependencies Reduce the size and complexity of your application Improve the security of your application
- There are a number of different ways to manage dependencies, but the most common approach is to use a dependency management tool. A dependency management tool is a software application that helps you to define, install, and manage the dependencies of your project or application.
