a. In many browsers, you can see a list of your downloads by clicking on an icon at the top right corner of the screen.

b. You can also access your download folder by going through your computer’s menus.

When you choose to run NetLogo, an installation will appear. Follow the steps in the wizard to customize your experience, or if you just click ‘Next’ your file will save in a default location (C:\Program Files (x86)\NetLogo 6.0.1\)

8. When you reach the ‘Install’ button, choose it.

9. You may get a pop-up window from your device asking for permission for the NetLogo program to make changes to your computer. You may need to select either “Yes” or “Allow”, depending on your operating system.

When the wizard tells you the installation is complete, click “Finish.”
