On Tier 1 and 2 systems, Software Center provides a self-service mechanism to install or update select software packages bundled by the CAT. This service is only available to systems designated as “single-user desktops”.  Multi-user computers, such as those in computer labs, will not provide this functionality for end-users.

1. Go to Software Center – you can run it by using the search box on the bottom tool bar.
2. Select the Applications tab on the left sidebar.
3. Locate the application you want to install or the update you want to apply
4. Double click on it to start the process. (An terminal window may appear briefly during the install)
5. Depending on the software, you may be prompted to logout or reboot after the installation is over.
