Many of the commandline solutions have a format: thing install package where thing is the software that installs software, and package is the software. The software that installs software are divided into the two cultures of computing: apps and commandline.

But the common thread is that there is some code that is not working on your laptop, and you want to get it working on your laptop. These disparate tools have vastly different functions, and are probably better described as environment managers, package managers, configration managers, or version control systems. Over the last few years, several products have emerged that basically install software that installs software. This blog post is about the software and strategies for tackling dependency hell, and more broadly configuration management, as told from my recent experience installing software on my new Macbook Pro. But suffice it to say that getting software to run is often a problem, especially within the academic community. Dependency hell has been written about in other blog posts so I won’t dwell on it here. Their goal is to make our lives easier, if only we can install them and their dependencies. They take all different shapes and sizes. There are tons of awesome software packages, modules, scripts, repositories, and apps out there.
