2. In the terminal type: xfce-setting-show
3. Click Desktop, then go to Behaviour tab
4. Enable "Show desktop menu on right click"
5. Right clicking on the desktop will now give you more options.
6. Click System-> Add/Remove Software
7. Give your password
You will see the available software and can choose to install anything that is on that list.
You must be connected to the Internet, so it can download the programs and install them for you.
Or open the terminal and type:
