|
Install additional applications
|
|
</title>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
An application is software that has a graphical user interface (GUI).
|
|
The Ubuntu development team has chosen a default set of applications that we
|
|
think makes Ubuntu very useful for most day-to-day tasks. However, you will
|
|
certainly want to install more applications to make Ubuntu more useful to you.
|
|
To install an application, you can use <app>Ubuntu Software</app>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Applications are available in two formats: snap packages and Debian packages.
|
|
An application available as a snap package is from now on referred to as a <em>snap</em>.
|
|
Some applications are available in both formats. In such a case in
|
|
<app>Ubuntu Software</app> the snap will be listed first.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
You may also wish to install software that does not have a GUI. To install
|
|
such software, you can use <link xref="addremove-install-synaptic">Synaptic</link>.
|
|
Note that <app>Synaptic</app> does not list snaps.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
To install an application:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<steps>
|
|
<item>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Click the <app>Ubuntu Software</app> icon in the <gui>Dock</gui>, or search
|
|
for <input>Software</input> in the <em>Activities</em> search bar.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</item>
|
|
<item>
|
|
<p>
|
|
When <app>Ubuntu Software</app> launches, search for an application, or select
|
|
a category and find an application from the list.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</item>
|
|
<item>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Select the application that you want to install and click
|
|
<gui>Install</gui>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</item>
|
|
<item>
|
|
<p>
|
|
You will be asked to authenticate by entering your password.
|
|
Once you have done that the installation will begin.
|
|
The installation usually finishes quickly, but could take a while if you
|
|
have a slow Internet connection.
