Installation of Application

Software with Different Variations


CSS-11
Installation

 Installation (or setup) of a computer program (including device drivers and


plugins), is the act of making the program ready for execution. Installation
refers to the particular configuration of a software or hardware with a view to
making it usable with the computer.
 A soft or digital copy of the piece of software (program) is needed to install
it. There are different processes of installing a piece of software (program).
Because the process varies for each program and each computer, programs
(including operating systems) often come with an installer, a specialized
program responsible for doing whatever is needed (see below) for the
installation. Installation may be part of a larger software deployment process.
Installation

 Installation typically involves code (program) being copied/generated from


the installation files to new files on the local computer for easier access by
the operating system, creating necessary directories, registering environment
variables, providing separate program for un-installation etc. Because code is
generally copied/generated in multiple locations, uninstallation usually
involves more than just erasing the program folder. For example, registry files
and other system code may need to be modified or deleted for a complete
uninstallation.
Installation

 Some computer programs can be executed by simply copying them into a


folder stored on a computer and executing them. Other programs are supplied
in a form unsuitable for immediate execution and therefore need an
installation procedure. Once installed, the program can be executed again
and again, without the need to reinstall before each execution.
Installation

Common operations performed during software installations include:


 Making sure that necessary system requirements are met.
 Checking for existing versions of the software.
 Creating or updating program files and folders.
 Adding configuration data such as configuration files, Windows registry entries or
environment variables.
 Making the software accessible to the user, for instance by creating links, shortcuts or
bookmarks.
 Configuring components that run automatically, such as daemons or Windows services.
 Performing product activation.
 Updating the software versions.
APPLICATION SOFTWARE

 An application is a type of software that allows you to perform specific tasks.


Applications for desktop or laptop computers are sometimes called desktop
applications, and those for mobile devices are called mobile apps. When you
open an application, it runs inside the operating system until you close it.
Much of the time, you will have more than one application open at the same
time, and this is known as multitasking.
APPLICATION SOFTWARE

 App is a very common term for an application, especially for simple


applications that can be downloaded cheaply or even for free. Many apps are
also available for mobile devices and even some TVs.
3 types of Application software

 Desktop App
 Web App
 Mobile App
Desktop App

 Desktop App is applications that run in a personal computer and laptops.


Types of Desktop Applications:
• Word Processors: A word processor allows you to write a letter, design a flyer,
and create many other kinds of documents. The most well-known word processor
is Microsoft Word.
 Personal Finance: Personal finance software, such as Quicken, allows you to
keep track of your income and expenses, create a budget, and more. Most
personal finance programs can automatically download information from your
bank, so you don't have to manually type in all of your transactions.
Desktop App

 Web Browsers: A web browser is the tool that you use to access the World
Wide Web. Most computers come with a web browser preinstalled, but you
can also download a different one if you prefer. Examples of browsers include
Internet Explorer, Firefox, Google Chrome, and Safari.
 Games: There are many different games that you can play on your computer.
They range from card games such as Solitaire, to action games like Player
Unknown’s Battleground(PUBG). Many action games require a lot of computing
power, so they may not work unless you have a newer computer.
Desktop App

 Media Players: If you want to listen to mp3s or watch movies that you've
downloaded, you'll need to use a media player. Netflix and Spotify are popular
media services application.
 Gadgets: Sometimes called widgets, these are simple applications that you
can place on your desktop (or on the Dashboard if you're using a Mac). There
are many different types of gadgets, and they include calendars, calculators,
maps, news headlines, and more.
Web App

 Web App is an application that is accessed over a network such as the


Internet or an intranet. It runs in the cloud and does not need to be installed
on your computer. These are sometimes called cloud apps.
Web App

 Online Email Services: Services like Gmail and Yahoo! Mail run within your
browser and can do many of the same things that email programs like Microsoft
Outlook can do. After you sign up for an online email service, you can begin using
it immediately - no installation is required. Instead of being stored on your
computer, your emails are stored in the cloud. 
 Google Docs: Google Docs is an office suite that runs within your browser. Much
like Microsoft Office, you can use it to create documents, spreadsheets,
presentations, and more. Your documents are stored in the cloud, which makes it
easy to share your documents with other people. 
 Facebook: Facebook lets you create an online profile and interact with your
friends. Profiles and conversations are constantly evolving, so Facebook uses web
app technologies throughout the site to keep the information upto-date. There
are also games and other web apps that you can add to your Facebook profile.
Mobile App

 Mobile App is a software application designed to run on smartphones, tablet


computers and other mobile devices. Desktop and laptop computers aren't the only
devices that can run apps. You can also download apps for mobile devices like
smartphones and tablet computers, which opens up a lot of new possibilities. Here
are a few examples of mobile apps:
 Snapchat lets you easily talk with friends, view Live Stories from around the world,
and explore news in Discover.
 Messenger instantly reach the people in your life—for free. Messenger is just like
texting, but you don't have to pay for every message (it works with your data plan).
Not just for Facebook friends: Message people in your phone book and just enter a
phone number to add a new contact.
 Instagram is a simple way to capture and share the world’s moments. Follow your
friends and family to see what they’re up to, and discover accounts from all over
the world that are sharing things you love.
Preparing & Installing App

 Before doing installation, there are some essential factors that we should always know.
 1. Platform Environment
 2. Categories of Installer Apps
 a) Open Source/Freeware are applications that can be use by the end users for free. These
applications don’t have equivalent price.
 b) Licensed under exclusive legal right of the copyright holder with the intent that the licensee is
given the right to use the software only under certain conditions, and restricted from other uses,
such as modification, sharing, studying, redistribution, or reverse engineering. These are applications
that need to be purchased before using it such as, Adobe Photoshop, Windows 8 and Microsoft Office.
 c) Trial ware is also a type of proprietary software which is provided to users for a certain limited
trial basis and pursuant to a license which restricts any commercial benefit, use or exploitation of
the software. This application usually offers 30 days trial or more.
 d) Subscription-based application is an app that allows a customer or organization to purchase or
subscribe for a specific period of time for a set price. Subscribers typically commit to the services on
a monthly or annual basis.
TYPES OF INSTALLER

 a. Desktop Apps are application that are installed in a computer either PC or


laptop. • Portable Apps are applications that able to use without installation.
• Installed Apps are applications that mandatorily installed in your computer
 b. Web Apps are applications that are accessed over a network such as the
Internet or an intranet.
 c. Metro Apps/Windows 8.1 Apps are applications that solely run in Windows
8 OS or later version, that can be downloaded from Windows Apps Store
 d. Mobile Apps are applications that designed to run in smartphone, or
tablets such as, surface tablet, iPad or galaxy tab.
 e. Windows Universal apps are applications that run in different platforms
using Windows 10 operating system
PURPOSE OF INSTALLATION

 Before the installation we need to identify first the objective of its execution.
You need a certain app for a certain purpose. You must identify if you really
need that app or not.
 Example: You are graphics designer for a clothing product, and you installed
Adobe Illustrator because you need to create a vector art of a certain
clothing line for your new project. Creating a vector art is the purpose why
you installed Adobe Illustrator.
Different Ways of Preparing Installer
Apps
 1. Direct downloading/installation from web
 Installation directly from the web is too risky it may contain malware or virus
it may also requires ample time in installation mainly if you have poor
internet connection.
 2. Via USB storage devices (e.g., flash disks, external HDD)
 This installation is most recommended compared to other ways of preparing
an installer app. It is more portable and manageable due to portability of its
execution.
Different Ways of Preparing Installer
Apps
 3. Via installation disc
 It is the traditional way of installation of application, it requires ODD in every
installation. Software are burned in an optical disc.
 4. Via intranet or LAN network
 This method requires LAN connection in conducting installation. Via intranet
installation made faster and more efficient. It enables you to deploy multiple
installation during the process.
INSTALL MICROSOFT OFFICE 2007 using a
CD or DVD
 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. These instructions will install the
Microsoft Office 2007 and WILL RETAIN the previous version. This dual MS
office capability may be beneficial to you as you become familiar with the
newer Office look and feel.
 The one exception is that you cannot have 2 versions of MS Outlook – so this
installation will remove the previous Outlook and install Outlook 2007.
