# Additional Software Packages

To install additional packages, open Fatdog64 Control Panel, navigate to the **System** tab, and from there launch the **Gslapt Package Manager**.

The user interface should be intuitive enough for you to use.

Gslapt will automatically install other packages needed ("dependencies").

Alternatively, you can download packages directly from the link given in the home page.

When the download is completed, use the file manager (ROX-Filer) to open the folder that contains the downloaded file, right-click on the file and choose 'Install Package'.

**Do not try to install the package directly from the browser without downloading it first - it will definitely fail.**

The web browser (Firefox/Seamonkey) doesn't have permission to install packages (as explained in [security](firefox-spot.md browser)).
