Before the release of the Qiskit SDK v1.0, Qiskit was comprised of many different Python distributions such as: `qiskit-terra`, the compiler core; `qiskit-aer`, the high-performance simulator; the original IBM Quantum™ provider; and several now-obsolete packages providing particular exploratory algorithmic or experiment-running features.

These separate software packages were combined together into what was called the Qiskit *metapackage* which allowed users to install all of these components together through `pip install qiskit`. This metapackage architecture was removed with the release of the Qiskit SDK v1.0 and each of the individual software distributions need to be installed separately.
