| <b>Help > Install New Software...</b></a>. This wizard shows you the items that are |
| available for installation.</li> |
| <li>You may type the location of a software site or select an existing software site |
| using the <b>Work With</b> combo at the top of the page. By default, the items in |
| a site are grouped by category, with only the latest version of each item shown. |
| You can change the way |
| that you browse available software using the following mechanisms: |
| <ul> |
| <li>Using the <b>Work With</b> combo box, you can select a site to browse its |
| contents, or you can choose to browse software from all sites. Browsing all |
| sites is useful when you know the name of something but do not know where it |
| is located.</li> |
| <li>The filter box can be used to type part of the name of something that you are |
| looking for. The list of items will be filtered to only those matching the |
| text that you type.</li> |
| <li>A checkbox at the bottom of the page can be used to control whether the items |
| should be grouped in categories, or listed by name. </li> |
| <li>A checkbox at the bottom of the page can be used to control whether |
| all versions, or only the latest versions, of software are shown in the list. </li> |
| <li>A checkbox at the bottom of the page can be used to control whether |
| items that are already installed should be shown in the list.</li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| <li>As you browse the available software, you can check the items that you wish to install. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| When you have finished making your selections, click <b>Next</b> to install the checked items. |
| If the items you are installing require other software items in order to operate, those |
| requirements will be included in your request. A checkbox at the bottom of this page controls |
| whether all software sites will contacted when looking for requirements, or only the site |
| shown in the <b>Work With</b> combo box. |
| </li> |
| <li>Once you click <b>Next</b>, the wizard will validate your selections against your installed software, and report any configuration |
| problems that might prevent you from installing a particular software item. |
| <ul> |
| <li>If there are conflicts that prevent you from installing one or more of your selections, the problems |
| will be reported in the details area at the bottom of the wizard. You may uncheck one or more |
| of the selected items and validate the install by clicking <b>Next</b> again. Or, you |
| may click <b>Back</b> to return to the first page and change your selections. |
| </li> |
| <li>If all of the requirements are available and there are no other installation |
| conflicts, clicking <b>Next</b> will show the <b>Install Details</b> page. |
| The items to be installed will be listed. Expanding each item will show what additional items will be required |
| to complete the install. You will see an estimated size of the installation at the bottom |
| of the page.</li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| <li>If the selected items have license agreements to be reviewed, you must click <b>Next</b>. |
| Carefully review the license agreements for the items you wish to install. You may also |
| notice items in the license list that you did not choose for install, but that are required |
| by the the items that you are installing. If the |
| terms of all these licenses are acceptable, check "I accept the terms |
| in the license agreements." Do not proceed to download the features if |
| the license terms are not acceptable.</li> |
| <li>If the license agreements are acceptable, or if the selected items did not have |
| license agreements to review, click <b>Finish</b>. This will begin the download and |
| installation of the new software.</li> |
| <li><p>Some of the items may be digitally signed by the company that provides them. |
| This allows you to verify more easily that the features and plug-ins |
| that are about to be downloaded and installed are coming from a trusted supplier. You |
| may be prompted to verify digitally signed content once the signature is |
| detected.</p><br> |
| <p><b>Warning:</b> Because of the possibility of harmful or even malicious software, |
| you should only download software from parties that you trust.</p></li> |
| <li>Once all of the software is downloaded successfully and the necessary |
| files installed into the product on the local computer, you will be prompted |
| to restart for the Workbench. Click <b>Yes</b> |
| when asked to exit and restart the Workbench for the changes to take effect.</li> |
