RPi GPIO requires downloading the helper APP.  Once downloaded, you need to set up the GPIO's you want to use as necessary.  Make sure you compile and enable the program if it doesn't happen automatically after download.

Helper apps are just programs/scripts that provide additional functionality.  You can write your own or use ones other people have written.  Gene has quite a few that used to be bundled into the HG installer but has now separated into their own store.  This makes the installer smaller and allows the user to pick which features they want to use rather than forcing everyone to install everything.

David posted a link in one of your other threads to the repository:

Basically you need to go into the HG web interface, navigate to the app download, select the app(s) you require, download and install.  Once installed, it should have compiled but I'd check to be sure.

This is how people can submit their own apps in case it interests you:
