Putting something in
Installation is the act of putting something in place and making it ready for use: The installation took three hours.
Software gets installed on computers, appliances in kitchens, art in galleries.
An installation can also be the thing installed—a military installation is a base or facility, and an art installation is a work designed for a specific space, often immersive or interactive.
To install someone in office is to formally establish them in a position; that ceremony is also an installation.
