For hardware and software specifications, see the SMARTClassroomSuite 2011 release notes

(smarttech.com/kb/160521).

Using the installation wizards

Download SMARTClassroomSuite software from smarttech.com/software, and then install the

suite on teacher and student computers. For more information, see the SMARTClassroomSuite

2011 Installation Guide (smarttech.com/kb/160523).

Using the command line interface

You can use the command line interface if you prefer installing software from the command line rather

than from a GUI installation wizard, or if you use Windows Installer in conjunction with a third-party

imaging or remote management software to automate installations across your school’s network. For

more information, see the SMARTClassroomSuite 2011 System Administrator’s Guide

(smarttech.com/kb/160522).

Using SMARTInstallManager

You can use SMARTInstallManager to customize the SMARTClassroomSuite software

installation package, and then use Group Policy-based software deployment to automate the

installation of the suite in a networked environment.

You can download SMARTInstallManager from smarttech.com/software. Instructions for using

SMARTInstallManager are in the SMARTClassroomSuite 2011 System Administrator’s Guide

(smarttech.com/kb/160522).
