How to install the program on your computer

Additional software and programs are an integral part of absolutely any computer. Immediately after installing a new operating system or after purchasing a new device, users tend to install dozens of useful applications that perform their functions. Most often installed: browsers, useful drivers, antiviruses, and many others. But beginners immediately have a reasonable question - how to safely and quickly install the necessary software? How to avoid picking up viruses and ruining the normal operation of the device? We will now try to answer these and many other questions.

So, we have a completely clean desktop, there is only the “Trash” and a standard browser. How can we install the necessary drivers and programs? First you need to go online. If you can’t do this easily, you may not have the necessary drivers and will have to install them from a disk or drive. But that is another story.

So that no one has any questions, let’s look at the installation step by step using the example of the popular browser - Mozilla.

Installing the Mozila browser

Once on the Internet, enter the name of the application that you want to download and go to the official website of this developer, because usually only there you can find the most new and safe software without viruses.
Click on “Download” and select your operating system and its bit level. The system capacity can be viewed in the computer properties.
The file will download. The download speed directly depends on two factors - the speed of your Internet connection and the weight of the file. Wait for the download to finish and open the file.
Most likely, the system will warn you about the possible danger of the file, because it was obtained from the Internet. But don’t be too scared, if you actually downloaded from the developers’ site, then the program is not dangerous. Click "Yes". And we continue.
The installation has started. We'll go to the installation window. We need to select the language we need, in our case Russian.
We are asked to select a location on the drive where the program itself will be stored. Usually they are installed on drive D, and another partition is allocated to the system, but this is not important.
License agreement. This should be noted as a separate point. Most people are afraid of it because they ask you to agree to something. You shouldn't be afraid of him. This is some kind of agreement between the copyright holder, that is, the developer and you. Of course, you need to read it, because it may contain important information regarding the distribution and use of this software, including for commercial purposes. Study it carefully and check the appropriate box.
When the installation begins, a bar will appear that will gradually fill in green as the installation progresses. You may also see progress percentages, this makes the process even simpler, clearer and more convenient.
Next, a window will appear in which you will be notified that the entire installation is complete. You can launch a new program after closing the window, but it is recommended to restart your device before doing so.

Step by Step Actions

Thus, the following stages of system installation can be distinguished:

Download the installation file (has the extension .exe).
Running the file and allowing it to make changes to the hard drive.
Selecting the installer language.
A license agreement that you need to read, understand the important aspects and accept.
Selecting an installation location. There will be a folder with the application and all its data.
Installation process. Its duration will depend on the power of your computer and the program being installed and its system requirements.

Important! During the installation process, you may be asked to install additional software that you may not need. Be sure to pay attention to the add-ons that software developers offer you to install. Sometimes it can even be search engines that you don't use. To control this process, always select the full installation.
