- GNU Stow is a Perl program for managing the installation of software
- packages, keeping them separated from each other while making them
- appear to be installed in the same place by using symbolic links.
- Stow is particularly useful when installing software distributed with
- a GNU "configure" script (use the --prefix=path option) or any other
- software that installs in a standard hierarchy beneath a configurable
- prefix path.
- Stow may be used by non-root users to set up a private software
- hierarchy under e.g. $HOME/local, or by local administrators who wants
- to install software that is not managed by the native package or port
- system, and make it available under /opt/local, /sw, or any other
- similar location.
