2. Sign in with your school email address and password.
3. After signing in, follow the steps that match the type of account you signed in with.
   1. From the Microsoft 365 home page select Install Office (if you set a different start page, go to aka.ms/office-install).
      
   2. Select Office 365 apps to begin the download.

Install Office

1. Once the download has completed, open Finder, go to Downloads, and double-click Microsoft Office installer.pkg file (the name might vary slightly).
   Tip: If you see an error that says the Microsoft Office installer.pkg can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer, wait 10 seconds and move the downloaded file to your desktop. Hold Control + click the file to launch the installer.
2. On the first installation screen, select Continue to begin the installation process.
   
3. Review the software license agreement, and then click Continue.

6. Review the disk space requirements or change your install location, and then click Install.
   Note: If you want to only install specific Office apps and not the entire suite, click the Customize button and uncheck the programs you don't want.
7. Enter your Mac login password, if prompted, and then click Install Software. (This is the password that you use to log in to your Mac.)
   
8. The software begins to install. Click Close when the installation is finished.
