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.

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