Installing Software

Downloaded software will need to be installed on your computer. Installing is a process by which the software is "unpacked" and placed in the appropriate places on your computer's hard drive. (Software available on the Internet is typically "compressed" so that it will download more quickly.)

The modern software installation process has become very streamlined and usually just requires you to answer "yes" or "no" to a series of questions.
