Dependencies
What are dependencies ?
In terms of linux, dependency is to understand the open nature of open source.
Libraries and frameworks are developed by people & companies, that allow other developers to create software without having to write additional code, but in order to install XYZ program it may or depend on an “abc” library or framework in order to function.
Why does only Linux has dependencies ? Nothing in Windows.
Linux uses “shared libraries”. Shared libraries and software are such that when you “compile” or “build” a program from its source code that it can find the library and use it without having to build the additional library code into the program itself which allows the program to run faster with less overhead as it dynamically loads the libraries when they are needed, a good reference for windows users is the “dll” its essrnetially the same concept but on a much larger scale amongst alot of programs and libraries.
