Quick Start Guide
2 Search for a software package by entering it's name into the Search Expression
eld and clicking Search.
3 The search result is listed on the Found Packages tab. Click on a package
name to see the repository URL, the package version number and the archi-
tecture in the Package Description pane.
WARNING: Double Check the Package Information
Make sure to double check whether the software is hosted on a repository
you trust before you install it. Also check if the architecture complies with
your system (x86_64 packages can only be installed on 64bit systems).
4 Mark a package for installation by activating its checkbox. You can mark
several packages at once. You can even start a new search for other packages
without losing your current selection, which is always available on the All Se-
lected Packages. Once you have nished the package selection, proceed with
Next.
The Additional Software Repositories dialog shows the repositories providing
the packages you want to install. They are activated per default. To proceed
with the installation, keep the repository selection. By default, you remain
subscribed to these repositories after the installation has nished, so you will
receive updates from them in the future.
5 If instead you want to use the new repositories only once, uncheck Remain
Subscribed to These Repositories after Installation. Click Next to proceed.
6 Now select the software packages that should be installed. Normally there is
no need to change the default selection. Click Next to proceed.
7 The Proposal screen summarizes the choices you made. Click Customize to
restart the conguration steps from above. Click Next and Yes to proceed with
the installation.
8 Conrm the next dialog. In case a new repository is used, you will also need
to conrm the import of the repository's GPG key. During the installation
several progress pop-ups appear that do not need any interaction. After
reading the “Installation was successful” message, click Finish.
