For each zipped files you have unzipped, there should be an installation file. Typical file names are like setup.exe, install.exe, winstall.exe, or a file name that sounds like a program's name. In the following example, the algebra.exe is the installation file of an algebra program called Algebrax.

Click on the name "algebrax.exe" to start the installing the software program..Sometimes the installation procedure will ask you where you want to intall the new programs to. Always remember where you installed the program.. It is a good idea to write down at least the name of the file so if you forget its location, you can search for the name on your computer.
