Install Software and Media Using the Pi Store
At the end of 2012, the Raspberry Pi Foundation launched the Pi Store[47] together with IndieCity[48] and Velocix.[49] In the store, you can find free and commercial applications, games, development tools, and media such as magazines or videos. The store offers two types of commercial applications: you have to pay a fee upfront for some, while for others you can make a donation if you like the application.
The Pi Store is available as a website, but it’s much more convenient to use its native client (see Figure 18, The Pi Store has a native client). The latest Raspbian image contains the Pi Store client, and you can launch it by double-clicking its icon on the desktop.
