# Add or Update Tools

One way to contribute to REMnux is to add or update the tools that are a part of the distro. To add a new tool:

1. First become familiar with the way REMnux uses [Salt Stack](/behind-the-scenes/technologies/saltstack-management.md) and [Debian packages](/behind-the-scenes/technologies/debian-packages.md) to install and configure tools.
2. Then consider creating a [Salt State file](/get-involved/add-or-update-tools/contribute-a-salt-state-file.md) or a [Debian package](/get-involved/add-or-update-tools/contribute-a-debian-package.md) for the tool by following instructions in this section of the documentation site.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you discovered an issue with an existing REMnux tool, you can help correct it by revising that tool's Salt state file. To do that, follow the instructions for [contributing a new state file,](/get-involved/add-or-update-tools/contribute-a-salt-state-file.md) but instead of creating a new file, find the state file for the tool and adjust it.
{% endhint %}

## 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.remnux.org/get-involved/add-or-update-tools.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.
