--------
The server-side software available on EmbassyOS are referred to as "Services." It's important to distinguish the difference between *services* and *applications*. Applications are generally *client-side*. This means that they are either standalone software, or they reach out to a server in order to operate. Services are *server-side*. These generally run 24/7, waiting for commands from a user via an application.

Dependencies
------------
Some services have dependencies on other services. A service may even require its dependency to be *configured* in a particular way.
Traditionally, managing dependencies was a massive headache and a huge barrier to running a personal server. But no more! The Embassy's revolutionary dependency management system makes the process transparent and simple.
If a service has one or more dependencies, or a dependency needs to be configured in a particular way, your Embassy will inform you and offer solutions.
Sometimes, a dependency can be satisfied in multiple ways. For example, Lightning has a dependency on Bitcoin. But that does not necessarily mean you need to have Bitcoin installed on your Embassy. You could just as easily configure Lightning to use another Bitcoin node located somewhere else!
