Method 1 of 2:
Installing Graphically
Click on Dashboard in the side bar.
Search for "Ubuntu Software Center and open it.
On the Left side you can select the category of software you want to install. For example, you'd select Sound & Video to install any sound or video software.
Select the software you want to install. For example, choose Audacity from the list and click Install.
You will be prompted for the password of that computer. Type it to continue installing the software.
Method 2 of 2:
Installing via Terminal
Open Terminal by typing Ctrl+Alt+T or going in your Dashboard and searching for Terminal.
Enter the following command: 'sudo apt-get install firefox' (without quotation marks) to install Firefox, for example. You can swap out "firefox" with the name of whatever software you're installing.
