software from sources that you trust. Applications from

About application packages and catalogs

Application manager works with packages that are generally

contained in application catalogs, that you can access over a

network connection.
An application package is a set of files. It can contain an

application that you open from the Applications folder, a

plug-in for the desktop, a new theme, or other kinds of add-

ons.
A catalog is a set of packages. It can include different kinds

of software combined as application packages. Certain

packages can be shared by many applications. For the
