Which additional software can I install in Tails?
|
|
|
Tails includes a [[limited set of applications|doc/about/features]] but you can install more software.
|
|
|
This software is distributed in packages that are made available from the Debian repositories, which are similar to an app store.
|
|
|
To know which packages are available in Debian:
|
|
|
Browse locally with the <span class="application">Synaptic Package Manager</span>:
|
|
|
[[Set up an administration password |first_steps/welcome_screen/administration_password]] when you start Tails.
|
|
|
Choose <span class="menuchoice"> <span class="guimenu">Applications</span> ▸ <span class="guisubmenu">System Tools</span> ▸ <span class="guimenuitem">Synaptic Package Manager</span></span>.
|
|
|
Wait until <span class="application">Synaptic</span> finishes downloading new package information from the Debian servers.
|
|
|
You can:
|
|
|
Browse the packages by sections from the left sidebar.
|
|
|
Search on titles and descriptions of packages with the <span class="bold">Search</span> button.
|
|
|
- Search the Internet for alternatives to other software.
|
|
|
For example: "*debian alternatives to photoshop*".
|
|
|
- Ask a friend who is knowledgeable about Linux.
|
|
|
- Search the [Debian website](https://www.debian.org/distrib/packages#search_packages).
