[3.1]	Microsoft Windows Version - Once the exectuable file has downloaded onto your computer, you need to Open it (or double-click on the file) to start the installation wizard. When you first open the executable file you should be prompted with the Windows Security message confirming Home Money Manager is the author of the Software. The installation wizard will then take you through the steps to help you install and set up the software on your computer. You can specify the directory in which to install the software, and if you request to include a desktop item during the installation process, an icon will appear on your desktop once the installation has completed. The software will also appear under the Windows > Start Menu > All Programs allowing you to run the software at any time.
[3.2]	Mac OS X Version - Once the archive file (.zip) has downloaded onto your computer, you need to un-archive it. The easiest way to do this is to double-click on the archive file, which will automatically extract the OS X application bundle for the software onto your hard disk.

Once un-archived a single folder will be set up on your computer containing all of the Home Money Manager software files. Please Note: The software requires the Java JRE runtime files (version 1.4 or later) to be installed on your computer before you can run the software, and these files comes pre-installed with most versions of Linux. If you are running a version of Linux that does not have Java installed, you will need to manually download and install Java, as the required Java files are not included in the archive file you download from Home Money Manager.
