Abstract

A device for automatically downloading an application package is provided. The application package that is downloaded contains a dependency manager, a configuration file and other application files. During installation of the application package the dependency manager is started automatically and is capable of reading data in the configuration file contained within the application package. The dependency manager is further capable of comparing information relating to required components in the file with required components in the device and determining if any required components are missing or whether a newer version of the required components in the device are required. In this regard, the dependency manager is further capable of generating a request for a required component(s) that is missing or is not up-to-date and downloading the missing or outdated required component(s) from a server. The dependency manager is further capable of installing the downloaded required component(s) in the device.
