This will open up a dialogue box such as that shown below:
Clicking the Connect button will read the list of all available packages from the internet repository and display them as a list in the left hand pane. Scroll down (-or use the Search box in the top right) and click on the package that you wish to install: details of that package will then be displayed in the right hand pane, so you can decide if you want to install this package or not:
Select the desired boot option from the drop-down box in the bottom left:
