This article covers the installation of the single-user (named user) version of the Statistica program.
Installation requirements
- Administrator rights are required for a successful installation. During the installation, a situation may arise where the computer needs to be restarted, and to complete the installation you must finish it as the administrator, i.e. the system administrator.
- Before starting the installation itself, the previous version of the Statistica program must be properly uninstalled. This procedure will not affect the data files from the previous installation in any way.
Installation
- After purchasing the license, you will be sent a link to download the installation files. To install the Statistica application, use the installer downloaded from the link provided.
- Extract the downloaded version in the ZIP file format and start the installation process.

- Make sure that no other application is running.
- Double-click the CDSTART.exe file. If you see a dialog box asking whether to upgrade a previous version, select the appropriate checkbox.
- It is possible that, before the actual installation of the Statistica program, additional files essential to the operation of the Statistica application itself will need to be downloaded. (For example, Microsoft .NET Framework and other necessary runtime libraries.) The installation process does this automatically.
