Abstract
A method for deploying dependencies includes determining a first component included in an application package and generating a first driver package for the first component that includes an information file. The method also includes updating the information file to include a dependency of the first component and storing the first driver package to a repository. The first driver package includes first binaries to install the first component. The method further includes downloading the first driver package to an information handling system and determining the dependency of the first component by parsing the information file. If the second component is the dependency, the method determines whether the second component is installed in the information handling system. If the second component is not installed, the method adds the second component to a device manager to trigger a download and installation of a second driver package for the second component.
