Introduction of the Topic

Lesson 1: Application software

Definition
Application software (app for short) is a program or group of programs designed for end-
users. Examples of an application include a word processor, a spreadsheet, an accounting
application, a web browser, an email client, a media player, a file viewer, simulators, a game
console, and a photo editor. The collective noun application software refers to all applications
collectively. This contrasts with system software, which is mainly involved with running the
computer.
Applications may be bundled with the computer and its system software or published
separately and may be coded as proprietary, open-source, or university projects.

System Requirements 

These are often used as guidelines as opposed to an absolute rule. Most software defines two sets of
system requirements: minimum and recommended. With the increasing demand for higher processing power
and resources in newer versions of software, system requirements tend to increase over time.

Application software requirements

These are installed based on software installation guides, end-user requirements and software license
agreement and accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendation and requirements:

Installing software on your Windows PC

Your computer allows you to do some really amazing things. These include digital photo editing,
sophisticated computer gaming, video streaming—all of these things are possible because of different types
of software. Developers are always creating new software applications, which allow you to do even more with
your computer.Installing from a CD-ROM

From the mid-1990s through the late 2000s, the most common way to get new software was to
purchase a CD-ROM. You could then insert the disc, and the computer would walk you through the
installation.

Now, almost all software has moved away from this model. Many new computers no longer include a
CD-ROM for this reason. However, if you do need to install software from a CD-ROM, simply insert the disc
into your computer, then follow the instructions.

Installing software from the Web

Today, the most common way to get new software is to download it from the Internet. Applications like
Microsoft Office and Adobe Photoshop can now be purchased and downloaded right to your computer. You can
also install free software this way. For example, if you want to install the Google Chrome web browser, you can
visit their page and click the Download button.
The installation file will be saved to your computer in .exe format. Pronounced dot e-x-e, this is the
standard extension for installation files on Windows computers. You can follow the steps below to install an
application from an .exe file.

1. Locate and download an .exe file.

2. Locate and double-click the .exe file. (It will usually be in your Downloads folder.)

3. A dialog box will appear. Follow the instructions to install the software.

4. The software will be installed. You can now open the application from the Start menu (Windows 7)
or the Start Screen (Windows 8).

Activity 2

Arrange the steps in installing Google Chrome Browser from the Web, following the proper steps.
Write the letter in the blank space with “1” as the first step.

The software will be installed. You can now

open the application from the Start
menu (Windows 7) or the Start
Screen (Windows 8).

A dialog box will appear. Follow the

instructions to install the software.

Locate and download an .exe file.

Locate and double-click the .exe file. (It will

usually be in your Downloads folder.)

After installing the Operating system, you need to install the Application system to fully utilize your
computer. Install the application software in accordance with the Manufacturer’s Recommendation And
Requirements.
