I would like to give you a quick tutorial on how to install a JCB package. At the end of day you already have JCB on your system. I'm not going to explain how we got to this point. There are two ways to get to the installing view. One is by clicking on Import JCB Packages icon. It'll take you there. The other one is going to Joomla components, there is a button [00:00:35](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGmEol.iopv8&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h00m35s) tp right of the page, is Import JCB Packages. That will take you to the same place. You'll see that there is a number of tabs. If you're not interested in VDM Packages or JCB Community Packages tabs, there's an action option in the global options. At this point we are controlling those tabs through this [00:00:57](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGmEoliopv8&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h00m57s) Global switch, that says Manage JCB Package Directories. You can say Show all or None. Or manually select the repositories that you want the show. At the moment they are only these two, but there are reasons to expect that they might become more, as we will see this area is becoming more active.
This is a quick tutorial on how to install a JCB package. With the assumption that JCB is already on your system it will not be explained here how to install it. There are two ways to get to the installing view. One is by clicking on the Import JCB Packages icon which will take you there. The other way is to open Joomla components, and on top right of the page is a button 'Import JCB Packages' [00:00:35](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGmEol.iopv8&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h00m35s) That will take you to the same place.

Once you're on Backup Local Data First page and you have yourself exported a JCB package, then this is where you can select it from your Computer, or from a directory or from a URL. With these import methods there are not a checksum validation feature in place. You will need to be sure of the integrity of that package. [00:01:44](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGmEoliopv8&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h01m44s) We cannot validate that package integrity. Since it's being selected from your desktop and you are in a your local development environment, there should be no reasons for concern. If you're pulling it from an external source then possibly you will need to be more cautious. Where as when it comes to the VDM Packages and the JCB Community Packages, these are the areas where we are trying to add a layer of security, [00:02:13](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGmEoliopv8&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h02m13s) try to protect you. To be ensure that the package area remains as stable as possible. There is ways for you to add your own JCB Package to the community repository.
