SOU Macintosh users can install a variety of software packages on their computer without the need for administrator access in two easy steps by using our Self Service app.

 

Step 1 - Launch the Self Service app

 

You can find the Self Service app in your Applications folder, or just search for it using Spotlight.

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 bellow the program icon. After it is installed, you can now locate and run the software like any other program on your computer.
