==Package management==
{{Further|Ports system}}

CRUX implements an infrastructure similar to that of [[BSD]]-based operating systems for package management.  Packages consist of a Pkgfile (which is a [[shell script]]), any [[patch (computing)|patches]] required to adjust the program to work, [[md5sum]] hashes used to verify the integrity of the downloaded files and a footprint file listing the files to be included in the packages. These files are downloaded from a CRUX [[software repository]], [[compiled]], and installed using the prt-get frontend to {{not a typo|pkgutils}}.<ref name="pkgmgmt"/> The software sources are downloaded from the websites of their respective upstream at the address specified in the Pkgfile.
