The best way to install software in PCLinuxOS is with Synaptic, http://docs.pclinuxos.com/HowToInstallSoftware

If you are new to Linux, I'd recommend that you try several different distros before you settle on one. I know that a lot of people like PCLinuxOS because it looks familiar to Windows users, but it's not Windows, it's Linux, and sometimes the resemblance to Windows can cause confusion.

Debian based distros, and Ubuntu based distros both use Synaptic for "package management" (installing stuff).
