About:
Fpm is the official Fortran Package Manager and build system, designed to streamline dependency management and project builds. It allows developers to easily create, build, and share Fortran packages with automatic handling of libraries and modules. This tool modernizes the Fortran workflow by providing a unified interface similar to Cargo or npm.

Key Features:

Dependency management from Git and local paths
Integrated build system for Fortran modules and libraries
Simple project initialization and scaffolding
Cross-platform support (Linux, macOS, Windows)

Use Cases:

Managing dependencies in scientific computing projects
Distributing reusable Fortran libraries to the community
Automating builds for continuous integration pipelines

Alternatives:

Make – Fpm automates dependency resolution and build ordering, whereas Make requires manual configuration.
CMake – Fpm is Fortran-native and simpler for pure Fortran projects, while CMake is more complex but supports mixed-language builds.
