You install QuickBooks the same way that you install most applications or programs: by download or via a disc containing the software. I’d begin at https://quickbooks.intuit.com/desktop, where you can compare some of product options, chat with a sales agent, or (if you’re ready) purchase the version of your choosing. After purchase, you should be able to download the product; definitely reach out to Intuit if you can’t. If you purchase a copy of QuickBooks from a bricks-and-mortar store, you just need to insert the disc into the proper drive.

After downloading the program (or inserting the disc containing the software), you don’t need to do anything special to install QuickBooks. Simply follow the onscreen instructions. Typically, you’re prompted to enter the installation key or installation code. This code and key are available within the QuickBooks packaging — usually, on the back of the envelope that the disc comes in — if you purchase the software in a local store. Otherwise, Intuit provides these items during the online purchase process.

The QuickBooks installation process may ask you to answer questions about how you want QuickBooks to be installed. Almost always, you want to accept the default suggestions. In other words, QuickBooks may ask you whether it can create a new folder in which to install the program files. In this case, choose yes.

QuickBooks can work as a multiuser accounting system, which means that several people can use QuickBooks. The QuickBooks data file — the repository of all the QuickBooks information — typically resides on a centrally available computer or server. People who want to work with the QuickBooks data file simply install the QuickBooks program on their computers and then use the program to access centrally located QuickBooks data files. This multiuser system isn’t complicated to run; in fact, I talk about it quite a bit in Book 7, Chapter 1.
