[QUOTE="S.SubZero, post: 931853, member: 51635"] On the PC (I assume you used Windows), you typically installed software in one of the following ways: 1. Double-click the downloaded file (if it's an executable, self-contained installer) 2. Run setup.exe from a downloaded directory 3. Autorun from a CD/DVD 4. No real install, just copy a directory somewhere and run the app's executable directly ---- In OS X, most apps are usually installed as follows: 1. For smaller apps, double-click the downloaded .DMG (archive), and copy the program out of the DMG to the Applications folder. 2 Larger apps (MS Office, etc.) usually have a dedicated installer which is run out of the archive (DMG, ISO, etc.) or run from their respective installation media. That's it. [/QUOTE]
