Thousands of programs are freely available to install on Kubuntu. These programs are stored in software archives (repositories) and are made available for installation over the Internet. This makes it easy to install new programs in Kubuntu. It is also secure, because each program is built specifically for Kubuntu and is checked thoroughly before it is installed. Kubuntu repositories are categorized into four groups:
Ana
Sınırlı
Universe
Multiverse
Kategorileri belirlemek için iki faktör kullanılır:
Bir program için yazılım geliştirme takımlarının sağladığı destek düzeyi
The level of compliance the program has to the Free Software Philosophy
Depolar hakkında daha fazla bilgi Ubuntu websitesinde mevcuttur.
The standard Kubuntu LiveCD contains some software from the Main and Restricted categories. Once a system has information about the Internet-based locations for these repositories, more programs are available for installation. Using the software package management tools installed by default, it is possible to discover, install and update any piece of software directly over the Internet, without the need for the LiveCD.

Enter the repository address. The proper format is required, and looks similar to this:

After adding the repository, a prompt will appear to update the package list. This will allow Muon to find the newly available software.
