• Flathub (Flatpak applications).
• The Snap Store (Snap applications).

To install an app:

2. Use the search bar to find an app.
3. Click the app to view details and screenshots.
4. Press Install and enter your password if prompted.
5. Once installed, the app appears in the menu.

Install .deb applications

Some third-party apps ship a .deb file. To install one:

1. Download the .deb file from the developer's website.
2. Double-click it to open it in the Software Store, then press Install.

Or install it from the terminal:

sudo apt install ./name-of-package.deb

Install Windows applications with Wine

Cyclop OS can run many applications built for Windows through Wine:

1. Download the app's original .exe or .msi installer.
2. Right-click the file and select Install Windows Application.
3. Follow the installation process.
4. For apps that need extra tuning, use PlayOnLinux.

Add APT repositories

Advanced users can add extra software sources from the terminal. To add a PPA and refresh the package list:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:publisher/ppa && sudo apt update

Then install a package from it with:

sudo apt install package-name
