  <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>
