Where possible, we recommend installing packages via dbt Hub, since this allows dbt to handle duplicate dependencies. This is helpful in situations such as:
* Your project uses both the dbt-utils and Snowplow packages; and the Snowplow package _also_ uses the dbt-utils package.
* Your project uses both the dbt-utils and Snowplow packages, and the Snowplow package _also_ uses the dbt-utils package.
* Your project uses both the Snowplow and Stripe packages, both of which use the dbt-utils package.

In comparison, other package installation methods are unable to handle the duplicate dbt-utils package.
