# Downloading content

nuken allows you to download and install nuken Shop content automatically. This means you don't have to copy/extract the files to the right directory and hope for the best!

{% hint style="success" %}
You can still load custom / non-Shop content into nuken, however. Open the **Downloadable Content Menu** to access nuken's content directories in your default file explorer. You'll see where to extract your content from there.
{% endhint %}

### A brief guide

Alright, so you've found something you like on the nuken Shop. Once you click "Download" you'll get this pop-up. Here, you can decide whether or not you want to go through with this, and where the content is actually coming from.

Once you've allowed nuken to download and install the content, you'll see this screen. Everything's been installed, so relaunch nuken and your content will be available to use.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Make sure nuken has read/write access to whatever directory you're installing content to. By default, nuken is installed to your `Documents` folder (depending on the user), or distributed as a portable `tar.xz` archive for this very reason. Otherwise, the installation will fail.

*Don't try to work around this by running nuken as root/administrator - running applications like this isn't recommended in general.*
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.nuken.xyz/the-basics/downloading-content.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
