How to Install and to Update an Application?

All of the installable application software have their own instructions how to install them, which are the best among the installation guidelines that are made by the others. So, the best thing you could do is to try to understand the dialect of their instructions and follow it. If it's not possible for you to understand it, you could now choose the guidelines by others that are written in the language that you can understand.

In this tutorial we will going to install an application software, and the specific software that we'll going to install as our example is a text editor, Vim. The specific operating system (OS) that I'm using is (Microsoft) Windows 7.

1. Go to the portal where you can originally download the software or setup program, which in our case is at: download : vim online
2. Left click on a link for a program that's compatible to your operating system. Choose such “MS-Windows: self-installing executable” for Microsoft Windows' user.
3. Wait a minute while your PC is downloading the setup program which in our case is named as or close to "gvim74.exe" if it's for MS-Windows.
4. After downloading, run the new downloaded file. You will be ask if Do you want to allow the following program from an unknown publisher to make changes to this computer? You need to allow it by choosing "Yes".

8. In Installation Folder, you can choose a destination directory that end in 'vim' to install the software, or just leave it default. Just make sure that your computer have reached the space required, and then click "Install".
