Setting something up
Installing is putting something in place for use.
You install software on a computer, appliances in a kitchen, or a new president in office.
The word implies a process—not just placing but setting up, connecting, configuring: I spent the afternoon installing the new operating system.
Installation can be quick or elaborate depending on what's being installed.
