 +=== Building Applications from the SlackBuilds.org Repo ===
 +Before each set of uses it is recommended to re-sync the repo to guarantee that all updated and new SlackBuilds are available, this is again accomplished with the **-r** option.
 +
 +For this example we will conduct all steps necessary to install the pysolfc application. As the goal is to download the source, build and install this application, you will use the **-i** option as shown below.
 +<code>root@darkstar#sbopkg -i pysolfc</code>
 +Upon submitting the command all steps will begin running and the application will display the verbose output, you will also be prompted if there is an error or the checksum does not match the file.
 +
 +<note>If you wish to install more than one application you will include all requested applications in package name argurment within a single set of quotes, for example "pysolfc qrencode".</note>
 +
 +=== Updating Installed Applications/Libraries ===
 +To search for updates to applications and libraries that were installed from SlackBuilds you must first re-sync your repo to gather all updates. Upon completing that task you will issue the **-c** option, after a quick scan the list of potential updates will be displayed.
 +
 +<code>
 +root@darkstar# sbopkg -c
 +[ Checking for potential updates ]
