 When you ''compile'' a package requirement, TolPackage try to load the package, searching into the repositories, downloading it and intalling it if necessary.
 
+== Official TOL Archive Network ==
 
+The official repository of TOL packages is called '''OTAN''' ('''O'''fficial '''T'''OL '''A'''rchive '''N'''etwork). In this link: [wiki:OTAN] you can browse the full list of public packages.
+
+== Package manager in TOLBase ==
+
+From version 3 onwards, TOLBase includes a graphic interface especially designed to make the management of packages easier. 
+It can be accessed from the "Tools" menu, in the "Manage Packages..." option.
