How-To Guides  -  Installing Palm OS Software

Adding software to your Palm device can seem a little cumbersome at first, but is quite straight-forward once you get the hang of it. These simple instructions will guide you through the process and get you up and running in no time.

Downloading/Installing Software


Step 1. Downloading Software

  Figure 1: Download Manager 
Once you have identified the piece of software you would like, the first step in the process is to download the file to your local computer. On pdaJD.com, you begin this by clicking any of the download links. These download links are located on the software product pages. These links will allow you to download immediately for use a demo version of certain products or a full version after you have completed a software purchase.

Once you have clicked on a download link, the download manager will appear on your screen showing you the progress of the download as in Figure 1. The download is complete once the download manager's status bar is full.

Files from pdaJD.com can come in a few different formats, but they are all handled essentially the same way. They will all come compressed and will have to be decompressed in order to be used. The utility that will handle the decompression is call StuffIt Expander. If you already have StuffIt Expander, then you are ready to skip to the next section. If you don't have StuffIt Expander, you can get it here www.aladdinsys.com/expander/index.html. Once you have downloaded StuffIt Expander, merely double-click on the file downloaded and StuffIt Expander will automatically install.
