# How do I install additional software in my Virtual Environment?

### Linux Environments: <a href="#linux_environments" id="linux_environments"></a>

Linux Environments on the Replica platform support the installation of additional Linux software using the APT package manager. &#x20;

When installing applications, you typically will need to execute your command superuser privileges by using the \`sudo\` command.  When prompted for a password, you will need to use the password which is available to you under the [**View Credentials**](/user-guide/virtual-environments.md#toolbox-admin-credentials) menu option on your list of Virtual Environments.

Third-party packages available through APT have not necessarily been tested or approved by Replica Cyber.

### Windows Environments: <a href="#windows_environments" id="windows_environments"></a>

Windows Environments on the Replica platform include an application gallery to easily install applications: Chocolatey GUI, available in the Start menu.  Windows applications downloaded from the internet may also be installed as normal.

If prompted for a password, you will need to use the username and password available to you under the [**View Credentials**](/user-guide/virtual-environments.md#toolbox-admin-credentials) menu option on your list of Virtual Environments.
