Hi, can you explain more about what's vague for you? I'm not sure how to clarify it until I understand what's confusing :)

Thank you for replying

I think the writer want to write as "We call libraries your code needs" but the "dependencies" that is included in there is make it vague for me atleast.

I think the meaning want as "We call libraries your code needs, and thats what we call dependencies". Are this normal in some english literature? To tell synomnym on some line with italic word

@carols10cents Although I can understand what this sentence means I agree the wording tripped me up as well a bit. It's not wrong, but I had to look at it twice to make sure I read it correctly. May I suggest these:

Suggestion 1: "(We refer to the libraries your code needs as dependencies.)"
Suggestion 2: "[...] downloading the libraries your code depends on (also known as dependencies), and building those libraries"
