The <application>Synaptic Package Manager</application> enables you to install software onto your computer and to manage the software, that is already installed. The software is bundled in so called <emphasis>packages</emphasis>. A single application can even exist of several packages: e.g. the <application>Mozilla Internet Suite</application> is packaged to <emphasis>mozilla-browser</emphasis>, that contains the actual browser, and <emphasis>mozilla-mail </emphasis>, that contains the mail client (this example refers to Debian GNU/Linux and can be different on your distribution).

The software is bundled into so called <emphasis>packages</emphasis>. A single application can have multiple packages as <emphasis>dependencies</emphasis> which are needed in order for it to run correctly, or to increase functionality.

Nearly all applications reuse the functionality of other applications or libraries (libraries only provide functions to other libraries or applications and are no stand alone applications) to avoid doubled efforts. So the most packages depend on other packages. The <application>Synaptic Package Manager</application> resolves the <emphasis> dependencies</emphasis> for you automatically.

Technically the <application>Synaptic Package Manager</application> is based on the package manager <application>APT</application> and provides functions, that are similar to the ones of the command line tool <command>apt-get</command> in a graphical environment.
