Just type the name of the the program in a command line.

BTW, It's called RASPBIAN (after DebIan) not "raspberian".

Here's a list of useful software when using Raspbian in text-mode only:

nano - text editor, preinstalled
mc - file explorer
cmus - mp3/ogg player
lynx - web browser... It's really only useful for reading articles, though xD

I use these when SSH-ing into RPi from my tablet or phone.

If you are truly a beginner, to install this software type

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install nameofthepackage
nameofthepackage=pretty much self explanatory. Just type a name of one of the packages above.

By the way, in the future, please use The Google Machine before posting here, because most of these problems us beginners face tend to be already answered in detail elsewhere ;)
