Browse to:

..and for instance, try adding the following to the URL:

Now, screen is a dumb example since you won't have much use for it without the command line anyways, but you get the point.
A button will appear and when pressed this package is installed. It looks in the sources currently enabled (default is our stable repo and the debian upstream).

This works both on B2 and on B3.
