The module manager is a client for the ModuleRepository. This module allows you to see what other modules are available for you to install to CMS Made Simple as well as plenty of other information about your current modules. Module XML files are downloaded using SOAP, integrity verified, and then expanded automatically.

ModuleManager will check whether any modules you wish to install have dependencies. When dependencies are set, the module wont install until dependencies are met. This may mean another specific module is neede to run the module you want to download. You will also be able to view newer versions of installed modules that you can upgrade from here.

In short, this means that you can download and install modules directly from the Admin Panel. Any module that has been released as an XML file can be downloaded and installed. Go to Extensions » Module Manager in the Admin Panel to see the list of modules from the official CMSMS repository in the CMSMS Development Forge.
