## Installing additional software ## Installing additional software
If you install new software, it's up to you to make sure it's secure. Tails forces all software to connect to the internet through Tor, so you may need to use a program called `torsocks` from the Terminal to start additional software that requires an Internet connection (e.g. `torsocks --isolate mumble`). The software used in Tails is audited for security, but this may not be the case for what you install. Before installing new software, it's best to make sure that Tails doesn't already have software that does the job you want it to do. If you want additional software to persist beyond a single session, you need to enable "Additional Software" in the Persistent Storage [configuration](https://tails.net/doc/persistent_storage/configure/index.en.html). If you install new software, it's up to you to make sure it's secure. Tails forces all software to connect to the internet through Tor, so you will need to [configure this for applications that use the Internet](https://tails.net/doc/persistent_storage/additional_software/index.en.html#index5h2). The software used in Tails is audited for security, but this may not be the case for what you install. Before installing new software, it's best to make sure that Tails doesn't already have software that does the job you want it to do. If you want additional software to persist beyond a single session, you need to enable "Additional Software" in the Persistent Storage [configuration](https://tails.net/doc/persistent_storage/configure/index.en.html).
To install software from the Debian software repository: For more information, see the documentation on [installing additional software](https://tails.net/doc/persistent_storage/additional_software/index.en.html#index3h1).
* Start Tails with administration rights, then go to **Applications → System Tools → Synaptic Package Manager**.
* When prompted, enter your administration password (it will take a while to download the repositories).
* Go to "All" and select the software you want to install: "Select for installation", then "Apply".
* Once done, if your Persistent Storage is open, a notification will ask if you want to "Install Only Once" or "Install Every Time" (which adds it to your Persistent Storage). If you add it to your Persistent Storage, the relevant software files will be saved there and automatically updated whenever a network connection is established.
* You can access and remove the additional software you have installed by going to **Applications → System Tools → Additional Software**.
For more information, see the documentation on [installing additional software](https://tails.net/doc/persistent_storage/additional_software/index.en.html).
