HOW TO: Use Software Center

Software Center is designed to make it quicker and easier for you to gain access to software you need. Once you have installed Software Center, and either run the ’CCIT Configuration and Setup’ or the computer has had enough time to report currently installed software, you can open Software Center and view software that is available for you to download.

The first screen, ’Available Software’, will display a list of software that is available for you to install. We recommend not installing any software until your professor asks you to.
You may check as many boxes as you like, but once you click ’Install’ in the lower right hand corner, Software Center will continue to try and install that software until it is complete.

*It is highly recommended that you have an ethernet connection when downloading these applications.*

On the ’Installation Status’ tab, you will see any software that you have selected to install and it’s current status. If an installation has failed, you will have the option to try and install the software again after you have clicked on the application.
