-Most Amiga applications are distributed as archives, typically lha, or alternatively tar.gz, zip or rar. To install the applications you need to unpack the archive (see list of archivers below). You will usually find a text file describing how to install the software or an "​installer"​ script. If there'​s an installer script, just double click it and follow the instructions. You can choose wherever you want to install it, but it's usually best to have a separate volume (see [[filesystem]]) for your applications and data, and leave the system volume alone.+Most Amiga applications are distributed as archives, typically lha, or alternatively tar.gz, zip or rar.
