Package managers are a standard way to manage software on Linux. Usually installing software in distribution's repositories is a matter of a single command.

Package managers and their distributions:

Name	Distributions
apt	Ubuntu and flavors, Debian
snap	Ubuntu and flavors, most distributions [1]
Zypper	openSUSE
DNF	Fedora
YUM	RHEL, CentOS

[1] ❗ Safe on Ubuntu and flavors but require specific configuration (for example, apparmor) - when requirements are not met, without any warning operate in fallback mode with non-operational confinement while granting full root access to host system to any snap with service
