Some programs need further configurations. For example, Tracker Add-Ons, Translators or other system enhancing components have to be put into the right folders. Either you'll find a little script file (often with the suffix .sh) like install that you simply double click to have all taken care of.
Sometimes you'll find folders that link to the correct destination named "drag [filename] here...". So, you simply follow that instruction and you're done.
Most of the time, however, nothing of the sort is necessary and you're done after unpacking.
-See topic Deskbar or LaunchBox to see how to add shortcuts to your newly installed application.
Haiku comes with a set of mostly small but essential applications. You'll find all of them at /boot/system/apps/ or /boot/common/apps/. Applications that are not usually launched by a double-click on a data file (e.g. ShowImage for image files) can be found in the menu of the Deskbar.

In the first drop-down menu you choose the source for the installation. It can be a currently installed Haiku or can come from an install CD or USB drive, etc.
The second drop-down menu specifies the target for the installation. This target partition/volume will be completely overwritten and has to be set aside beforehand by a partitioning tool like GParted.
Clicking the little expander widget will Show Optional Packages, if available, that you can choose to install in addition to the basic Haiku.
-You should do a last check if you really picked the right target before starting the installation process. Click on to open DriveSetup and have a look at the naming and layout of the available volumes and partitions.

starts the installation procedure, which basically copies everything but the home/ and common/ folder onto the target volume and makes it bootable.
It can happen that some other operating system or partitioning tool (accidentally) overwrites the boot sector of your Haiku volume. The button makes it bootable again.

The top drop-down menu specifies if your changes are applied only to the current or to all workspaces. Depending on your graphics card, the other two drop-down menus contain all supported resolution and depth settings.
After clicking on , the graphics mode is changed and an alert appears, asking you to keep or cancel the changes. If you don't answer that alert, the graphics mode reverts after 12 seconds to the previous setting. Maybe you couldn't see the alert because your monitor didn't support the setting.
