# Installing libraries

Additional libraries distributed as `.zip` archives must be installed for the SunriseWorkbench project to work fully.

!!! note "Prerequisite"
    Before installing the libraries, make sure that the project has been created or loaded. See [Creating a new project](new-project.md) or [Loading an existing project](load-project.md).

## Opening the settings

In the SunriseWorkbench main menu, select **Window → Preferences**. In the window that opens, go to **Install/Update → Available Software Sites**.

## Adding library archives

Click **Add**. In the dialog, click **Archive...** and add a library `.zip` archive.

### Windows users

Use the standard file-selection dialog to locate and select the archive.

### Linux users

Because SunriseWorkbench runs in an emulated Windows environment, use the following procedure to access the Linux file system:

1. In the file-selection dialog, click **Look in:** and select **My Computer**.

2. A list of mounted drives appears. It may contain more entries than the number of physical drives because of how the compatibility environment works.

3. Check each drive in turn. One of them contains the Linux file system (drive H in this example).

4. Open the directory containing the libraries, select one of the `.zip` archives, and click **OK**.

5. Confirm the selected archive by clicking **OK** in the next window.

## Adding the remaining archives

The archive appears in the **Available Software Sites** list. Repeat the procedure for every remaining library `.zip` file.

## Restarting the application

When installation finishes, SunriseWorkbench prompts you to restart. Click **Restart Now**.

![Installation process](../assets/config/libraries/step-13.png)

After the restart, the interface switches to Russian and all installed libraries appear in `StationSetup.cat`.
