Description: Dependency resolution is the process of determining what dependencies are necessary for a software package. This process is crucial to ensure that packages are installed correctly and function as expected across various systems. Each package may require other packages to operate, and dependency resolution is responsible for identifying and managing these relationships. This involves not only finding direct dependencies but also dependencies of dependencies, thus creating a tree of requirements that must be satisfied. Dependency resolution is performed automatically through package management tools, which analyze the system and the package repository to determine which versions of packages are compatible with each other, avoiding conflicts and ensuring that all necessary libraries and components are present. This process is fundamental to maintaining the stability and functionality of the software environment, as a missing or incompatible dependency can lead to software or system failures.
