How to install the same package on multiple ubuntu machine?

[Peng Yu]

Hi,

I have a number of ubuntu machines with the same version of OS. I want
install some package on all of them. Login to each of them and run the
installation command (could be apt-get or traditional
configure->make->make install) is time consuming. Is there some tool
that can help me automate this process? Thanks!
