Software that controls the system-wide acquisition, installation, upgrading, and removal of programs and utilities. Popular package managers include apt-get (for Debian-based distros), rpm (for the Red Hat/Fedora clan), pacman (Arch Linux), portage (Gentoo), and various special-purpose programs like pip and npm. Well known as the only right way to install and manage your software, though good luck ever getting a consensus on which package format is the best.
