Add/Remove software application accessed via
allows you to search the software repository easily or browse through the
different groups like multimedia or office and select software packages to
install or remove from your system.
You can find more information about any package such as description and
dependencies by just clicking on it.
Before installing a package, you also can visit the home page of the
software projects easily for getting any additional details.
Typically, you can find several thousands of software packages under
different groups available.
Since this can be overwhelming you can choose to filter the lists of
software packages based on several criteria such as whether the package is already
installed, whether it is a development or graphical application and based
on the software license.
See ਸ਼ੈਕਸ਼ਨ 3.1 ― ਫਿਲਟਰ for more information about filters.
A software source configuration is available in the system menu that
allows you to enable or disable a existing software repository.
You can also refresh the application lists for displaying the latest
information about software packages available in the repository.
You can limit the amount of software packages that is shown by several criteria.
To see only installed or only uninstalled software, choose the
corresponding menuitem in the menu.
To see only software containing applications with a graphical user
interface or only applications with a commandline interface, choose a
filter from the
menu.
Note that PackageKit uses a heuristic to determine if a package is a 'graphical'
application and can get this wrong when a package has dependencies like gtk2+.
To see only software that qualify as free software, choose the
corresponding menu item from the
menu. Currently, PackageKit considers a package to be free software
if its license is listed as such in the Fedora
Licensing page.
The search entry and Find button let you search
for software. The icon inside the entry indicates what kind
of search is performed. By clicking on it, you can select to search for
a string that is contained in package name, the package description, or
search for the name of a file contained in the package.
