# Ubuntu Studio Installer

Ubuntu Studio Installer adds Ubuntu Studio’s package selections and workflow tools to an existing installation of Ubuntu or an official Ubuntu flavor.

It does **not** convert the system into Ubuntu Studio. It installs curated packages for creative work while leaving your existing desktop flavor in place.

## Installing

Install Ubuntu Studio Installer on a supported Ubuntu flavor:

```
sudo apt install ubuntustudio-installer
```

Unofficial Ubuntu derivatives and Ubuntu Server are not supported.

## Using Ubuntu Studio Installer

- Open Ubuntu Studio Installer from the application launcher.
- Select the package groups you want for audio, graphics, video, publishing, or photography workflows.
- Click **Install** or **Modify Installed Package Selection**.
- If prompted to log out and back in after installation, do so to apply real-time audio permissions.

This tool is the supported way to add Ubuntu Studio’s workflow packages to another official Ubuntu flavor without replacing that flavor’s desktop.
