Libraries in Violet

How Libraries Work?

Unlike applications, libraries can be installed in multiple versions. This means you can have three versions of the same library installed at the same time on your computer.

When an application wants to use a library, it explicitly indicates the list of versions it is compatible with. The system gets the related version and provides it to the application.

A library by itself cannot do itself; no background process, no commands exposure, no permission granting. Applications simply use libraries as helpers to achieve specific tasks.
