You can open a terminal window from the menu bar at the bottom of the Linux window. To install Linux packages you type:
sudo apt-get install <package name>
where <package name> is the name of the desired software package. You may be asked for a password. Answer "Y" when asked to confirm the installation. Packages to install:
python3
idle3
ssh
sshfs
Unknown Linux Packages
Sometimes you don't know the exact name of the package you want to install but maybe know part of the name. For example, you want to install spyder but maybe "sudo apt-get install spyder" isn't working. In this case you can search the package database with:
sudo apt-cache search <partial name>
where <partial name> is the package you're trying to find (in the case of the example this would be spyder). This will return a list of full package names that you can then apt-get install.
