Hari,

Welcome aboard!

The quick answer -- from the Aida README.md page is to invoke

  Feature require: 'Aida'

in a Workspace.

This assumes you have Cuis-Smalltalk-Dev and Cuis-Smalltalk-Aida as sibling directories.

You can also select the package file in a File List and click the 'Install Package' button.  Any packages required by that package should get loaded as well.

It is probably worth your time to check out the Cuis development Documentation in

 https://github.com/Cuis-Smalltalk/Cuis-Smalltalk-Dev/tree/master/Documentation

The docs should cover the 'nuts and bolts' of what you need, but please ask questions so that we can make the docs better.


If you need details on Smalltalk usage -- as opposed to being a Smalltalk programmer looking at Cuis, you might look at http://stephane.ducasse.free.fr/FreeBooks , where there is a trove of free books on Smalltalk.


Enjoy!
