If you are just starting to master a computer and do not even know yet, how to install the program, then I am sure after reading this article you will not have any more questions on this topic. Installation of various programs may differ, but it is almost the same everywhere, and in fact, it is much easier to install the program than some beginners at the beginning of their journey think.
In general, it is worth saying that if you do nothing, but simply follow the usual instructions in the windows when installing programs, that is, just click the available buttons: "Next", "Next" or "OK", then you can easily install the program. But we decided to learn? And we need to know what actions lead to what when installing programs.
Installing programs. Example!
Now, using the example of installing a real program, let's see how this is done correctly.
After from the Internet or from some disk, we usually have such a file on our computer.
First of all, you need to start it by double-clicking the left mouse button. We will open the first window. In 99% of cases, this window " Installation wizard", Where we are welcomed. There we can see the name of the program, and sometimes we are reminded that it is advisable to close other applications before installing. In this window, we need to click the "Next" button.
Almost always, when installing programs, we need to check the box " I accept the terms of the license agreement”, That is, it means that we agree with the terms of use of this program. Here's an example:
The next window, which is always present during installation, is the folder selection. During the installation of the program, a window should appear in which it will be indicated where the files will be copied for its full operation.
Usually the program is installed on the system drive "C" in the "Program Files" folder. You can of course change this path by clicking the Browse button and choosing the folder where you want to install the program... I usually leave it as it is, which is the default! And all the installed software I have is in the "Program Files" folder on the "C" drive.
Very often with installing free software, they are trying to install some additional applications for us, or change the start page in the browser. Pay attention to this, and if you do not need such additions, then uncheck the extra checkboxes, and only then click "Next".
Another window that is always present, and usually after installing the program, is a window in which you need to leave a checkmark in front of the items of interest to us. For example, it can be creating a shortcut on the desktop, or a program folder in the start menu, and so on. Read on and everything will be clear.
The most important stage is itself, during which the necessary files are copied.
In the last window, after everything is copied and installed, we are offered to click the "Finish" button and the program will start, if we have not cleared the corresponding checkbox.
We have now described the main windows that appear when installing programs... In different cases, they may be different, but the essence remains the same. There are also other points: windows with the choice of the program language, installation of an add-on, where you need to uncheck the box, etc.
After installing 5 - 10 different programs, thoughtfully and independently, you will no longer have any questions in which window what to do, and, roughly speaking, the brain itself will work out the necessary actions.
