Versions:
Fortran Package Manager, maintained by the Fortran Programming Language Community, is a build system and dependency manager created specifically for modern Fortran development; version 0.13.0, the ninth public release, streamlines project creation by automatically discovering and fetching required libraries from distributed Git repositories, then compiling them together with local source so programmers can treat community packages as extensions of the default environment. Typical use cases range from academic research codes that depend on linear-algebra or sparse-matrix libraries to engineering solvers that mix legacy Fortran with newly published modules; scientists can share reproducible numerical kernels while enterprises can assemble multi-package applications without manual Makefiles. Because all build artefacts are isolated under a single “build/” directory, experimentation is low-risk—removing the folder triggers a clean rebuild, provided network access is available for any external dependencies. The tool belongs to the Development category and is available free of charge on get.nero.com, where downloads are supplied through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, guaranteeing the latest version and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
