Abstract Linux Package management system in this context refers to a collection of tools to automate the process of installing, upgrading, configuring, and removing software packages from a computer. The term is most commonly used with regards to Unix-like systems, particularly Linux, and these systems may rely heavily on it, with a typical Linux distribution including thousands of discrete packages. In such a system, software is distributed in packages, usually encapsulated into a single file. Together with the software itself, packages often include other important information, such as the full name, a description of its purpose, the version number, vendor of the software, checksum information, and a list of other packages, known as dependencies, that are required for the software to run properly. This presentation is intended to give Linux some practices that if adopted would result into efficient usage the package.
