-On occasion, particularly when installing new software applications, several other software packages will also be automatically installed as well.  These are known as dependencies, as they are necessary for whatever is being installed to work properly. In other words, the software package being downloaded is dependent upon them.
 Your package manager will list the dependencies required for software packages in the information pane. For example, as illustrated, if the VLC Media Player were to be installed, then several other software packages --such as to allow it to play different media formats-- would also be automatically be downloaded if not already installed on the system. Without them, the Media Player would not be able to play certain media formats, or perhaps not be able to play anything at all!

 In simple terms, a terminal (or console) is an interface that allows for text commands to be entered and displayed. As it is an exceptionally powerful and versatile tool to use, Arch and other Arch-based systems are notable for relying far more heavily on its use than other (user-friendly) distributions such as ''Ubuntu'' or ''Mint'', which have placed a greater focus on the use of Graphical User Interfaces (GUI).
-Although GUIs do undertake many common tasks that have been provided with Manjaro, particularly to assist new users j-- ust as with other user-friendly distributions -- it may on occasionally be necessary to use the terminal to get something done. '''Most of the guides contained in the wiki rely on using the terminal, particularly where solving problems and tweaking the system is concerned'''. For those users who wish to learn more about how Manjaro works, and for those who wish to take full advantage of its versatility, it is highly recommended to learn how to use the terminal. Don't worry: it's not that hard or scary, and this wiki can be used to guide you every step of the way.
