To download and install the programs available in the CYPE general menu, there are two options:
- Download and install "CYPE Menu. Full installation". This carries out the simultaneous installation of the most commonly used CYPE programs.
- Download and install "CYPE Menu". The installation of this program then allows the desired apps to be downloaded and installed one by one.
The steps to be followed for each alternative are described in more detail below:
