   1. Read carefully about the modules required by the Library pack.
   2. Tick the box **I understand** to acknowledge the content of the dialog box.
   3. Click **Install**. Finder will open automatically.
6. Log in to Finder, if not already logged in.
7. Finish the installation of the pack from Finder by configuring the pack, if needed.
