New software applications.
On occasion, particularly when installing new software applications, several other software packages will also be automatically installed as well. These are known as dependencies, as they are necessary for whatever is being installed to work properly. In other words, the software package being downloaded is dependent upon them.
Software packages.
Your package manager will list the dependencies required for software packages in the information pane.
For example, as illustrated, if the VLC Media Player were to be installed, then several other software packages --such as to allow it to play different media formats-- would also be automatically be downloaded if not already installed on the system.
Without them, the Media Player would not be able to play certain media formats, or perhaps not be able to play anything at all!
Tip.
You won't need to worry about dependencies yourself, as they will be automatically identified and downloaded for you when necessary.

The first thing we dobbiamo fare is è capire cos'è Octopi.
