  Dependency with properties:

               Name: "MyOtherPackage"

    addDependency(pkg,dep)
pkg.Dependencies

    Input Arguments

    Package, specified as a matlab.mpm.Package object.

    Package dependencies to add, specified as a string array of package specifiers, a matlab.mpm.PackageSpecifier array, a matlab.mpm.Package array, or a matlab.mpm.Dependency array. If dep is a string array, then each element must contain a package specifier in the format "Name", "Name@VersionRange", or "Name@VersionRange@ID". If you specify a package specifier, then addDependency finds the corresponding package among already installed packages. MATLAB throws an error if the package corresponding to the package specifier is not installed.
