# Installing contributed packages
_This page is for users who wish to install contributed packages.
If you want to contribute a package, please see [package contributions]._
Qubes OS contributed packages are available under the [QubesOS-contrib] GitHub Project.
This is a place where our community can [contribute Qubes OS related packages, additions and various customizations][package contributions].
If you want to install one of these packages, first you need to enable the repository in your system (dom0 and/or templates). This can be done by installing the `qubes-repo-contrib` package. This package includes the repository definition and keys necessary to download, verify, and install [QubesOS-contrib] packages.
In dom0, use `qubes-dom0-update`:
sudo qubes-dom0-update qubes-repo-contrib
In a Fedora-based template, use `dnf`:
sudo dnf install qubes-repo-contrib
In a Debian-based template, use `apt`:
sudo apt update && sudo apt install qubes-repo-contrib
