This document provides an overview and introduction to various package managers for different programming languages and platforms including: RubyGems, NPM, Bower, NuGet, Paket, Chocolatey/OneGet. It discusses what each package manager is used for, how to install packages, manage dependencies, publish packages, and includes demonstrations of common commands.

5. Once upon a time
In an age were we don't want to build everything on our own time shifted
from building things to manage things…
• Search for {x} with your favorite search engine
• Download {x}
• Install {x}
• Fail because it requires {y}
Welcome to the Infinite loop!

7. Component based development
• If you build components packages can dramatically reduce time
spend to
• Check out from source control management
• Build *the* application
• Run tests
• …

8. Dependencies

63. Package Manager Powershell Scripts
• Init.ps1 runs the first time a package is installed in a solution.
• The script also runs every time the solution is opened.
• Install.ps1 runs when a package is installed in a project.
• Requires files in the content or lib directory for Install.ps1 to run.
• If your package also has ,an init.ps1 , install.ps1 runs after init.ps1.
• Uninstall.ps1 runs every time a package is uninstalled.
• NuGet_profile.ps1 runs when the Package Manager Console is
initialized – NOT part of the package!

64. Package Manager Powershell Scripts
• At the top of your file, add this line: param($installPath,
$toolsPath, $package, $project)
• $installPath is the path to the installed package.
• $toolsPath is the path to the tools.
• $package is a reference to the package object.
• $project is a reference to the EnvDTE project object.
• This will be null in Init.ps1.
• When you are testing $project in the console while creating your
scripts, you can set it to:
$project = Get-Project

66. What is packet?
• Open Source started by Steffen Forkmann
• Paket is a dependency manager for .NET and Mono projects
• NuGet packages
• Files in GitHub repositories
• It enables precise and predictable control over what packages the
projects within your application reference.
