What is Application Packages?

Application packages are bundles containing all the files and metadata needed to install and run a software application on a specific operating system or platform. They simplify software distribution and installation by packaging the executable files, libraries, configuration files, and installation scripts into a single, easily manageable file. Common examples include `.exe` files on Windows, `.dmg` files on macOS, and `.deb` or `.rpm` files on Linux distributions. They are commonly used for distributing software applications to end-users, deploying applications on servers, and managing software installations in enterprise environments.
