Today, almost everything can be found on the Internet: images, music, videos, texts and applications. If you are just starting to master a computer, you may need to know how to download, and then install and run the program downloaded from the network.
Instructions
Step 1
After you find the program you want, click on the Download button located in the immediate vicinity of the application name. If there is no such button, the title itself may be a download link. In this case, left-click on the link-line.
Step 2
The action described in the first step can lead to one of two results. Option one: The download will start immediately. In this case, specify the directory for saving the file, click on the "Save" button and wait until the download is complete. Second option: you will be redirected to the resource where the file is stored. Find and click the Download button, then follow the steps described above in this step.
Step 3
After the download is complete, navigate to the directory where the file was saved. If the installation file is packed into an archive, unzip the data using the WinRAR program (7ZIP or any other archiving program). Remember the directory that you specified when unpacking the file.
Step 4
Find the setup.exe or install.exe file in the required directory. If there is no such file, be guided by the extension, find the file with the name of the downloaded program, which will have the "ending".exe. Click on it with the left mouse button to start the installation of the program. If you don't install a program on your computer, it simply won't start (but of course there are exceptions).
Step 5
Most programs are installed automatically. When the "Installation Wizard" window opens, specify the directory where it will write the files required for the application to work. Then follow the instructions of the "installer" until the installation process is complete. Restart your computer if required.
Step 6
Look for the launch file of the installed application in the directory where you installed it or in the Start menu. Programs can also create shortcuts on the "Desktop" and on the Quick Launch "Taskbar". Click on the program icon with the left mouse button - it will start.
