===Bootstrapper=== During an installation of a [[computer program]], it is sometimes necessary to update the installer or [[package manager]] itself. To make this possible, a technique called [[bootstrapping]] is used. The common pattern for this is to use small executable files which update the installer and starts the real installation after the update. This small [[executable]] is called bootstrapper. Sometimes the bootstrapper installs other prerequisites for the [[software]] during the bootstrapping process too.
