Let’s Explore and Discover

Did you know?

Application Software is a type of computer program that performs a specific

personal, educational, and business function. Each program is designed to assist the
user with a particular process, which may be related to productivity, creativity, and/or
communication. These application software programs are created to facilitate a variety of
functions, including but not limited to:
• Managing information
• Manipulating data
• Constructing visuals
• Coordinating resources
• Calculating figures

2
 Examples of Application Software:
• Microsoft suite of products(Office, Excel, Word, Powerpoint, Outlook
• Internet browsers like Firefox, Safari, and Chrome
• Mobile pieces of software such as Pandora (for music appreciation, Skype (for
real-time online communication) and Slack (for team collaboration

There are different categories of application software depending on the preference of

the user. It can be Productivity Tools (e.g. Microsoft Office Apps) , Games (e.g. LAN or
ONLINE games) or Utility Software (e.g. Anti-Virus, Diagnostic/Repair Apps & Virtualization
software)

Important Note: The installation process for software depends on your operating
system and the program you are installing. As a result of these many combinations,
below are the general guidelines in doing the installation.

GENERAL GUIDELINES IN INSTALLING APPLICATION SOFTWARES

1. Make sure your computer meets the system requirements of the program,
game, or utility you are attempting to install

System requirements are the minimum necessary specifications that you will
need to make sure that the software runs smoothly and does not overwork the
hardware on your computer. If your computer does not meet these requirements,
you may not be able to install the software or, if you can install the software, it may
run slowly. The system requirements for software are usually printed on the package
that the software comes in or are listed on the software’s website.
(Source: Siyavula. “Basic System Requirements” Accessed date: Jan. 23, 2021,
https://intl.siyavula.com/read/cat/grade-11-cat/hardware-software-and-computer-
management/05-hardware-software-and-computer-management)

3
2. The manual, or a README file, usually contains instruction on how to install
a program. Find it online at a software website, or in a text file in the same
directory as the installation files.

Once you have downloaded the software or inserted disk, the installation
wizard will guide you through what to do. While the installation wizard does not
handle all the aspects of the installation, since these may be different from one
program to next, the process is very similar for all software.

COMMON STEPS IN SOFTWARE APPLICATION INSTALLATION

STEP DESCRIPTION
Accept the license agreement Most software cannot complete the installation if
you don’t agree to the manufacturer’s terms of
use. This license agreement is a legally binding
contract between you and the manufacturer and
outlines what you can do and cannot do with the
software.

Enter the key/ activation code/ The product key is the way to the manufacturer’s
registration number links the software to you, stops the software from
being installed on more devices than the
licensing terms agree to and prevents piracy. It
also link you to any online support.

Choose the installation location The installer will suggest a default folder. It is
usually best to stick to this suggestion. For
example, if your installer suggests installing all
your software on the C:/ drive, you will know
where to look for a program.

Choose the type of installation you want You can usually choose between the following
types of installation:
• Typical installation, which installs the
components that are used most often,
• Custom installation, where you can
choose which components to install, and;
• Full installation, which installs all the
components of the software. This is not
always an option in an installation.

4
Install extras Some software comes with extra software
bundled in. in this step you can choose which
extra software to install. Often these extras are
ticked by default and you will have to untick
them if you don’t want to install them.

Check for updates Once a program has installed, the installer may
ask if you want to check for the latest version.
This is usually done with software that is
installed from a disk. Downloaded software is
often more up to date.

Register your product Some programs require that you register on their
online portal so that the company can contact
you wth news and notifications of updates. You
should be allowed to skip this step if you do not
want to be contacted by the manufacturer.

Add shortcuts The last step in the installation process is to add

a shortcut. Most software will ask if you want a
shortcut to the program on your desktop. If you
do not, deselect this option.

Take a tour Some software offers a tutorial the first time you
open the program. These tutorials will usually
highlight important features and how to use
them. If it is the first time you are using the
specific program, you should work through the
tutorial before getting started.

• Installing Application Software Via CD-Rom

➢ Many software titles, games, and utilities have an AutoPlay feature. This
feature automatically starts a setup screen for the software when the CD or
DVD is inserted. If your program contains this feature, follow the steps that
appear after inserting the disc into the computer.

5
 ➢ If AutoPlay is disabled on your computer or unavailable on the software disc,
follow these steps:
1. Open My Computer.
2. In the My Computer window, open the drive that contains the
installation files. For example, if the files are on the CD-ROM drive,
open the D: drive or letter of your CD-ROM drive.
3. In the drive that contains your files, locate either
the executable setup (i.e., "setup.exe") or install file. Double-
clicking this file starts the installation process. If there are multiple
setup or install files, locate the executable file or double-click each
setup or install file until you find the file that starts the installation.

• Installing Application Software Via Downloading from the Internet

➢ The most common way to get new software is to download it from the internet.
To do this, you must go to the website where the software is available and
download the files. Make sure that you download software from trusted
publishers or verified retailers only. Follow these steps:
1. Download the program from the website providing program.
2. Open the Download folder
3. If the file you downloaded is an executable file, double-click the file
icon to start the setup process. If the downloaded file is compressed
(e.g. zip), you must extract the file’s contents before setup can begin.
Fortunately, this function is built into most versions of Windows.
4. Once the file is extracted, double-click the setup or install file to
install the program.

• Installing Application Software Via USB flash drive

➢ Open Windows Explorer or My Computer and find the USB drive that is
often the last drive letter. Find the setup or executable file, and double-click
the file icon to start the setup process.

3. If you have problems in installing software, or it takes a long time, close or

disable any other running programs.

4. After installing a new program, if it prompts you to reboot the computer, do

so.
