<!-- Installing, Updating Modules -->
<title>Sword Modules Installation</title>
<media style="image" mime="image/png" src="figures/sword_install.png" />
<p>The module manager generates both a per-type module list as well as a
parallel availability list. The latter is intended to make it easier to find
new items without having to work one's way through the per-type list, one
subtree at a time. Modules which are either not yet installed or updated
beyond what is currently installed will appear in both lists.</p>
<p>Modules that are already installed will show a checkmark beside them. If a
fast search ("lucene") index is available, a magnifying glass will be
displayed, otherwise an "X" will be shown; creation of the index is available
on the Maintenance pane. Locked modules, which require that you purchase an
unlock key from the module's copyright holder, will show a lock symbol. If
there are modules installed for which a more recent version is available, a
refresh icon will appear between the differing old and new version stamps.
There may be an approximate size displayed, if the repository management
provides this information, otherwise a question mark ("-?-") will be shown.
</p>
<p>Select new modules to be installed by clicking the checkboxes and then the
Install button at the bottom. Any number of modules may be requested for
installation at one time.</p>
<p>If you acquire a locked module and have obtained the cipher key for it, the
module is then unlocked in the main window: Open the module, which will
probably appear blank, then using the right-click context menu, choose
"Unlock This Module."</p>
