Consuming Software with Modularity
This is a high-level overview of how users can install software with Fedora Modularity and how is it different from the traditional workflow(s).
Understanding the Delivery Channels
Modular Fedora will ship with two sets of repositories:
The *traditional base repository* representing the distribution as we know it today — there are no user-visible changes in this part.
A new *modular repository* (often referred to as the "Application Stream" or AppStream for short) including all the additional versions delivered as modules.
The Modules repository will be optional for users.

Consuming the traditional packages
There are no changes to the traditional user experience. Packages from the traditional repository will be installed and updated using the same methods as before. Everything keeps working as it used to.
Consuming the modular packages
If a user desires to use the optional Modular repositories in order to consume non-default versions of software, there will be some new concepts introduced in the client tooling to manage them. We outline these below.
Enabling a module
Enabling a module makes its packages available on the system. Packages delivered as part of a module always have a priority over the ones from the traditional base, regardless of their actual version. Packages in modules are often replacements of the ones in the traditional base.
Modularity brings parallel availability, not parallel installability. Only one stream of a given module can be enabled on a system — so it is always clear which version gets installed. Installing and running multiple versions of software can be achieved by using existing technologies, such as containers.
Installing a module
To make installation easy, some modules can be also installed as a unit, without the need of enabling them first and then installing individual packages. Installing a module doesn’t necessarily mean installing all of its packages. Modules can define something called an "installation profile" to help users with the installation.
