Install a Program Using the App Store

You can enhance and extend your Mac by installing new programs from the App Store. Your Mac comes with an impressive collection of applications — or apps — particularly because your Mac comes with the iLife suite preinstalled.

However, your Mac does not offer a complete collection of apps. For example, your Mac lacks apps in categories such as productivity, personal finance, and business tools. To fill in these gaps, you can use the App Store to locate, purchase, and install new programs, or look for apps that go beyond what the default Mac programs can do.
