<a id="software" name="software">Installing more software</a></h1>
<p>Because of our binary and source compatibility, many BeOS applications run on Haiku. After downloading a package, simply unzip it (double clicking opens <span class="app">Expander</span>) to <span class="path">/boot/apps/</span> and start the application from there.</p>
<div class="box-info">An exception are OptionalPackages, which are normally included when building Haiku directly from source. Those can, however, also be downloaded and added to any running Haiku system. The only difference to normal archives: you have to unzip directly to root <span class="path">/</span>.</div>

For debugging purposes the OptionalPackage site keeps older versions which are not compatible with newer Haiku revisions. OptionalPackages are primarily for developers, less so for end-users.</div>
