An application is software that has a graphical user interface (GUI). The Ubuntu development team has chosen a default set of applications that we think makes Ubuntu very useful for most day-to-day tasks. However, you will certainly want to install more applications to make Ubuntu more useful to you. To install an application, you can use <app>App Center</app>.

Applications are available in two formats: snap packages and Debian packages. An application available as a snap package is from now on referred to as a <em>snap</em>. Some applications are available in both formats. In such a case in <app>App Center</app> the snap will be listed first.

You may also wish to install software that does not have a GUI. To install such software, you can use <link xref="addremove-install-synaptic">Synaptic</link>. Note that <app>Synaptic</app> does not list snaps.

You will be asked to authenticate by entering your password. Once you have done that the installation will begin. The installation usually finishes quickly, but could take a while if you have a slow Internet connection.

<app>Synaptic Package Manager</app> is more powerful and can do some software management tasks which <app>App Center</app> can't. Synaptic's interface is more complicated and doesn't support newer <app>App Center</app> features like ratings and reviews and therefore isn't recommended for use by those new to Ubuntu.
