<title>Module Sources Settings</title>

<p>There are other repositories available besides CrossWire's own, though
the modules available from other repositories do not represent content
officially sanctioned by Crosswire. On the web, see this page for list of
those repositories known:
<link href="http://www.crosswire.org/wiki/Module_Repositories">
http://www.crosswire.org/wiki/Module_Repositories</link></p>
<p>The list of standard repositories is maintained at CrossWire.
<app>Xiphos</app> normally auto-synchronizes with that list one time, when
the user first puts the Module Manager to use. The list may change, as new
repositories come into existence; occasional re-synchronization with the
list is suggested, which is accomplished by clicking <gui>Load Standard
</gui>.</p>

<title>Sword Module Installations</title>
<media style="image" mime="image/png" src="figures/sword_config.png" />
<p>After you have selected your Install Source, click the <gui>Refresh</gui>
button to cause <app>Xiphos</app> to find the module summary available from
that source before moving on.</p>
<p>Take note of the "Install Destination". In most cases, you will have a
choice of a personal area or a system area. The details vary according to
your operating system.</p>
<section id="destination-linux">
<title>Linux</title>
<p>Unless you run as root (via su or sudo) you will only be able to
install in your personal area, under ~/.sword. If you run as root, or
change permissions on the shared directory, you will also be able to
install modules for all users, typically in /usr/share/sword. There have
been some requests for <app>Xiphos</app> to provide a means by which an
ordinary (non-root) user could start the program, gain temporary write
access to the system area while installing modules, and then revoke that
access after installation is complete.
Attempting to devise a scheme to do this has proven quite difficult,
given the different superuser management schemes employed by various Linux
distributions. Therefore, at this time there are no ongoing plans to try
to solve this problem, and users are advised to enable write access to the
system area outside <app>Xiphos</app>.</p>

<section id="destination-xp">
<title>Windows XP</title>
<p>You may install modules to a shared folder so the modules are available
to all users. If you have previously used "The Sword Project for Windows",
this folder will be "C:\Program Files\Crosswire\The Sword Project\Sword".
Otherwise it will be
"C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Sword". You may also
install modules to a location that can only be seen by you. This location
is "C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR NAME\Application Data\Sword".</p>
</section>
<section id="destination-vista">
<title>Windows Vista 7, 8 and 10</title>
<p>The other versions of Windows works much the same as XP, except for the locations. The private
location is "C:\Users\YOUR NAME\AppData\Roaming\Sword". The shared
location is "C:\ProgramData\Sword".</p>
