Different Unix and Unix-like systems have different ways of installing software. Some require just dropping the binary into /usr/bin. Others require additional libraries to be installed. These libraries can be difficult to install manually, so many systems have what is called a "package manager", which automatically install the programs and needed libraries.

Pine is a third-party software package that does not come with Unix or Linux; it has to be installed.
