GetIt Dependencies
Go Up to Project Options Dialog Box
Project > Options > GetIt Dependencies
Use this dialog box to set the dependencies of the project in relation to GetIt Package Manager packages. Bear in mind that these dependencies are not automatically created, the dependencies are manually set by the user.
If a project requires a particular package or packages that you do not have installed, as soon as you open the project, you are informed that your project has some dependencies that are not installed in your machine.
Then, you are prompted if you want to download such dependencies, you may click Yes to proceed with the download and installation of such packages. You can also install the packages later, see Installing Missing Packages for further details.
RAD Studio saves the GetIt packages dependencies of a project in the .dproj file of your project.
