Dependent packages installation with one use-package command. #940

Closed hongyi-zhao closed 1 year ago

Say, I want to install a package A, which in itself dependent on other packages, B and C. In this case, how to install them all in one use-package command?

Regards, HY

Firstly, use-package is not a package manager rather it simplifies package configuration. I presume you are using the :ensure keyword in your use-package forms to use package.el to install packages. If so then installing package A will also install its dependencies B and C.

(use-package A
  :ensure t)
