Typically, this is solved by having some bash script that runs apt-get, assuming the user is on Ubuntu. Smarter scripts use hand crafted code to detect the user's platform and aggregate a set of dependencies on a few of the more popular platforms. This approach is different: - pako install libgdbm-devel sdl2-dev On Ubuntu, this command will run: - sudo apt-get install -y libgdbm-dev libsdl2-dev However, on Solus, this will run: - sudo eopkg install -y gdbm-devel sdl2-devel Works as follows: - Parse package format (devel/debug/normal library or executable) - Look up package managers that exist in PATH - Format parsed package with common package convention of package manager . This package installs the binary for Python 3.
