Package management tools greatly simplify software's installation, upgrade, and maintenance processes. For example, almost all Linux operating systems that use RPM use Yum for package management, while Anaconda makes it very easy to manage the Python environment and related packages. - -In the past, there was no dedicated package management tool in the TiDB ecosystem. Users could only manually manage various packages through different configuration files and folders.
