7. Click Run.
   
8. Click Next on the window that appears,
   
9. Enter the folder destination or keep default location and press Next,
   
10. Click Install,

13. Enter the URL in address bar, https://testcenter.mit.edu:8443/qcbin/ and click on Go.
    
14. Enter your User name and Password, leave Domain empty, and click OK.
    Result: You are ready to use ALM as you would have used it through a web browser.
