This means that it is a compressed archive of the program, pre-configured so that it can install nicely on your computer. When SPM downloads a programs for installation, it is in the form known as a 'package'.
If you wish to access you the other repositories, you must do this by changing repository settings of SPM. By default Ubuntu only uses the Main online repository. They are: Main, Universe, Multiverse, Restricted.
Ubuntu calls each repository by a simple name. The default repositories used by Ubuntu can be extended through the SPM settings so you can access a wider range of programs. SPM allows you to choose which repositories it accesses through its settings. So SPM is actually a repository manager: it manages which repositories (there are many) you wish to access, and which programs to download and install from those repositories. SPM then downloads the software from the repository and takes care of the installation process. All you have to do is select the software from the list that you want. When your computer is online, SPM can connect to these archives, check what software is available for installation, and present you with a list of installable software. These repositories are vast archives of programs that have been pre-configured for installation on your operating system. SPM can automate the installation of software on your computer because it has a direct connection to one or more online software repositories. The ideas behind SPM will become clearer with use. It's not crucial you understand them thoroughly, so just read the explanations and then let it soak in over time. Before you embark on this process, there are a few concepts that you may wish to get familiar with. However most people use SPM for just installing new software. It can also upgrade your entire operating system, and manage all software installed on your computer. The Synaptic Package Manager (SPM) is used for more than just installing software. The Package Manager is a program that assists you when you wish to install software. First you need to configure what is known as the Package Manager for Ubuntu.
