# Introduction To The Module Manager

The "module" is the unit of content in Xiphos, and Sword generally; a Sword module is a resource available for viewing in Sword applications. There are several varieties: Most importantly, Bible texts, as well as dictionaries and lexicons, commentaries, and general books, any of which may include image content (e.g. atlases). They are installed either from a local directory structure (typically on removable media, such as a CDROM distribution) or remotely via ftp from a repository such as Crosswire, which is the home of Sword, and from which all officially Sword-sanctioned modules are available. Also, many other modules are available from non-Crosswire repositories. In particular, there is the Xiphos repository, containing a variety of otherwise-unofficial modules produced primarily by contributors to Xiphos itself.

If you have other Sword applications installed, they will all share the same set of Sword modules that you install through the Module Manager.
