What's needed to install, run & use these Package Manager

Installation/Setup

Try an experiment:

• Install each of these tools on a minimal debian/alpine image & see how many survive

• Doing so, will tell you exactly what dependencies each need

We assume you have curl/wget to download a file or at the very least transfer from another system. As such, we excluded curl/wget writing as a host dependency
