<p>Dependency is a broad software engineering term used to refer when a piece of software relies on another one. Simply put, if Program A requires Program B to be able to run, Program A is dependent on Program B. This makes Program B a dependency of Program A.</p>
<p>It doesn’t really matter what it is, if your program needs it to run correctly, it’s a dependency.</p>
