getting software via USB drive

[RemotePiShack]

Hello, my name is Brian. I am wanting to explore the functionality of my Raspberry Pi. I bought the preloaded SD card and it installed fine. I did this at the internet cafe. But the monitor and keyboard and mouse and power supply and all the cables are a headache to haul into the cafe every time I want a new app. I have no internet access at home. I have to go to a internet cafe to download software, put it on a thumb drive, and bring it home and install it. That has always worked for my older windows machine. But I can't figure out how to do it on the Pi. I go to the Pi Store and since I am on the cafe's windows machine, I can't even get it to begin downloading. How do I go about this? How do I pay for the apps? I am wanting a good video player for the Pi. And I want a Bible word-searching app that includes the KJV Bible. Sooner or later I want to start experimenting with the GPIO pins and I assume I need an app to operate them too.

The Pi Store is no more, defunct... viewtopic.php?f=83&t=130379&sid=183bc24 ... e6b4e2246e

Okay, then how do I get apps? I am a total newbie at any type of linux, so please give me instructions like you are talking to a baby.

Ideally you need Internet Connection.

Though if you have installed Raspbian Jessie Operating System most of what you state you require is included.

There is tons of information on the RPF Website and in the MagPi Magazine
