# Installing by Using the Copy Items Command

Many applications can be installed simply by copying the application or its folder to the client computer. Consult the application's documentation to verify that you can simply copy the application to the hard disk to install it.

1. Select a computer list in the Remote Desktop window.
2. Select one or more computers in the selected computer list.
3. Choose Manage > Copy Items.
4. Add software to the "Items to copy" list.

   For more information, see Copying Files.

   Repeat this step until all the software you want to copy is in the list.

5. Select a destination.

   There are several preset locations available in the "Place items in" pop-up menu, including the Applications folder. If you do not see the location you want, you can specify a full pathname.

6. Select your copy options.

   See Copy Options for more information on the available options.

7. Click Copy.

   The software is copied to the indicated location. If the copy operation is unsuccessful, an error message appears in the task feedback window.
