software manual
Application instruction booklet
A software manual is documentation that explains how to use, install, configure, or troubleshoot a computer program.
Such manuals range from brief getting-started guides to comprehensive reference works covering every feature.
Historically delivered as printed booklets accompanying software, manuals now typically exist as PDFs, help files, or online documentation.
The software manual walked me through the setup process step by step.
