The Comprehensive Kerbal Archive Network, a Mod Manager for Kerbal Space Program

The CKAN is a metadata respository and associated tools to allow you to find, install, and manage mods for Kerbal Space Program. It provides strong assurances that mods are installed in the way prescribed by their metadata files, for the correct version of Kerbal Space Program, alongside their dependencies, and without any conflicting mods. The CKAN has been inspired by the solid and proven metadata formats from both the Debian project and the CPAN, each of which manages tens of thousands of packages. If you have ever used a package manager to install software on linux, you can think of this as the equivalent for KSP mods.”
