As discussed in \chaplink{ch:default-applications}, a range of default applications are available in Ubuntu that are suitable for many everyday tasks. At some point you may decide to test out an alternative web browser, set up a different email client, edit an audio file, or try some new games (for example), and to do any of these you will need to install new software. Ubuntu keeps track of many different software \glspl{package}, and finding and installing what you are after is designed to be as quick and easy as possible. Alternatively, you may prefer to browse through the extensive library of available applications, and try any that catch your interest.

Most other operating systems generally require a user to purchase commercial software (online or through a physical store), or otherwise search the Internet for a free alternative (if one is available). The correct installation file must then be verified for integrity, downloaded and located on the computer, followed by the user proceeding through a number of installation prompts and options.

While at times a similar process may be used for installing software in Ubuntu, the quickest and easiest way to find and install new applications is through the \application{Ubuntu Software Center}. This is a central location for accessing new software, and is based on the concept of \emph{repositories}. A repository can be thought of as a catalog of packages that are available for downloading from a single location. You automatically have access to the official Ubuntu repositories when the operating system is installed; however, additional repositories can be added later in order to access more software.

\marginnote{Some software packages have more advanced purposes, such as programming or running a \gls{server}, and cannot be installed using the \application{Software Center}. You will need to use the \application{Synaptic Package Manager} (discussed towards the end of this chapter) to install these packages.} The \application{Software Center} can be used to install most applications that are available in the official Ubuntu repositories.
