PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus that can securely start up applications in dependence thereto.SOLUTION: An image forming apparatus 1 can execute applications 500a and 500b. A framework 100 is an application framework that executes a plurality of applications. When the application 500b executed by the framework 100 is in dependence to another application 500a, an application management part 220 sets such that another application 500a is loaded in the framework 100 at the start-up of the application 500b. At the installation of the application 500b, the application management part 220 checks the dependence to another application 500a, and when there is the dependence, sets such that another application 500a is constantly loaded at the start-up of the application 500b. |
