Software Center in Zorin 5 Lite ?

I have an older PC that I am planning to install Zorin 5 Lite on and I have noticed that this version does not list the Software Center in the menu. If I install this version, what is the best way to install the Software Center ?

There are only a couple applications that I want to install using the Software Center. I am rather new to Linux and Zorin and I am not sure how to install these 2 applications without using the Software Center.

Thanks,
Darrell

Hi,

open a terminal and copy and paste this example:

sudo apt-get install gnome-utils

It should pull in all the bits you need, all you need to do is put the name of the package you want to the right of the word "install". Don't forget to spell the package name correctly!!.

Regards Wolfman :D
