If you use Ubuntu looking to sign on you're profile it is system>Administration>Synaptic Package Manager .
BTW nearly each distro do have a Package Manager to install or remove a software
BTW so have do to it as root or sudo or su

And please, again, use meaningful titles next time. "software" is almost as useless as a title as "problem" from your other post.

sudo apt-get install package

Most people install linux from what we call a Distro (distribution). Almost every disto has some way to keep software up to date and a way to install new software so that the entire disto keeps working. The disto's installed method is the preferred tool to start with.

If the distro doesn't offer a software you will have to find out a bit about the software before you attempt to install it.

Some apps can be installed by other manager methods, other repositories or simply following the read me file. Many are disto specific.

As above post the exact situation.
