install
To put a software program or update in place and prepare it for operation. Operating systems and application programs commonly include a special installation program that does most of the work of setting up the program to work with the computer, printer and other devices. The installation program can check for devices attached to the system, request the user to choose from sets of options, create a place for the program on the hard disk and modify system startup files as necessary.
