Let's demonstrate my installing the games "'''Planet Penguin Racer'''", "'''Frozen Bubble'''", and "'''Open Area'''" on your Linux system by using the '''Synaptic Package Manager'''.
<u>Steps to Install an Application with the ''Synaptic Pacakage Manager'':</u>
# Click '''SYSTEM -> ADMINISTRATION -> Synaptic Package Manager'''.
# Enter your user password to confirm you are the administrator.
# Click on the '''Settings ''' menu, and select "'''Repositories'''. This will display a dialog box to allow you to select various software repositories. Some repositories only contain open-source software, while other repositories may contain proprietary software (for example, for hardware drivers). If in doubt, just keep the default selections... When you have made your repository selections, then click '''close'''.# In the ''Synaptic Package Manager '' dialog box, click on the '''Search ''' button.# Type in the text: '''Planet Penguin Racer ''' - the package should appear in the application window.# Click on the '''check box ''' that appears to the left of that application to select that application for download and install. A content menu will appear.# Select the menu item called "'''Mark for Installation'''". There may be an additional window indicating other software applications that need to be installed as well - just click on the "'''Mark'''" button.# Click on the "'''Apply'''" button. In a few moments, that application will automatically be downloaded and installed on your system.# Repeat steps '''4 to 7''' each time for the <u>two other games</u> called "'''Frozen Bubble'''" and "'''Open Arena'''".
# When completed, close the Synaptic Package Manager application window.
# Test out to see the installed application by clicking '''APPLICATIONS -> GAMES -> Game Name'''
