At this point, the mod packages are ready to install. Begin by confirming that no unexpected or undesireable conflicts exist. Before doing this, it will be useful to 'hide' the original installers that were previously converted to BAIN format.

**Once all packages have been verified and all necessary or optional adjustments made to the instllers, ALL packages may be selected at once and installed by right clicking one of the selected packages and clicking on '''[Install]'''.

**Once installed, the boxes preceding package names will be either yellow or green, and each will have a '+' symbol, which indicates that the package is installed.

Infrequently, packages that are highlighted in yellow or orange have not been installed according to the defined heirarchy. This can easily be corrected by right clicking on the package and selecting '''[Install Missing]'''. Afterwards, right click the package again and click '''[Anneal]''' or '''[Anneal All]''' to tell BAIN to consider all packages in the install list. The '''[Anneal]''' function simply tells BAIN to refresh its assessment of the defined install hierarchy and reapply those rules to correct any unintended conflicts. It never hurts to use this function frequently, and '''[Auto Anneal]''' should always be ticked in BAIN’s main context menu to honor the install hierarchy. | Infrequently, packages that are highlighted in yellow or orange have not been installed according to the defined heirarchy.
