2. By clicking the K Menu, Clicking on Applications, going to the System menu item, and then selecting Package Manager
Enter your normal user password, and click OK. You'll then be greeted with the Adept Main Screen
How to add or remove a repository with Adept
See this help page for how to add and remove repositories
Adding or removing programs
It's usually good practice to start out by fetching updates.. To do this, click the Sources button, and then select fetch current package lists
To install programs, simply search for what you're looking for, by typing in the Quick Filter field. Once you locate the program on the list, 'click it', and select install package (Shown in the example). If you later change your mind, you may de-select by clicking Keep Package.
After you're done removing and installing any programs you want, click Commit changes to apply and install your programs.
Keeping your System Updated
Click the K Menu and highlight "System", then select Adept (as before). You are again prompted for your password, enter it, then click Fetch Updates. After fetching the updated information, you will see a button ""Full Upgrade"". Click it and your system will be upgraded. Done!
