Locate Software Directory

Once access Theia, you are able to locate the Software directory which contains a list of all software releases available in Theia. The list is based on the official SlapOS software repository. From there you can open a file. You can also use Ctrl+P and start typing a filename. As we are going to deploy html5as-base, let’s locate the software configuration (software.cfg) of html5as-base.
