Installation / Set up

[Mordor]

Hi!!!

Quick question:

Which is the difference between installation and setup?? I was wondering if setup means to run a software and installation is for machines...


Please, your help will be much appreciated..

Thanks!

first you have to install a programme in your computer (i.e. get the software programme files moved into it) and then you have to configure the programme once it is installed, i.e. carry out the set-up of the programme. Does that help?

También setup package/to setup se usa muchas veces comos sinónimo de installation package/to install

Yes, that's the right idea. The first part of installing a program or package is moving the files to your computer. Setup is generally a subordinate part of the installation process where the program or package is "setup" according to available options or parameters.
