Step 2 - Locate the desired software package within Self Service
You can either browse to the program or search for it using the built-in search bar. Once you have located it, click on the Install button within its entry and wait for Self Service to indicate that the install has finished. It will show that it is still installing the program in the status screen near the top of the window and by displaying a number on the download button neat the top-right corner of the screen. After the installation has finished, the status areas will revert to their normal state and the application package will disappear from Self Service because it is now installed on your Macintosh computer. You can now locate and run the software like any other program on your computer.
