![]() Another reason to install from repositories is that dependencies are easily met. When that is the case, packages can easily be updated (to fix vulnerabilities and the like). ![]() Why? Because it’s important for the integrity of the platform to ensure the package manager is aware of installed software. This should be considered a best practice. Should a package come up missing, more than likely you’ll find a repository you can add, so that the installation can be managed with the built-in package manager. Most modern Linux distributions enjoy standard repositories that include most of the software you’ll need to successfully run your Linux server or desktop.
