<title>
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>App Center</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>App Center</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>App Center</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>App Center</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.
