   3. Confirm the operation and the output directory

3. The installation script with the .sh file extension is self-contained. The script already has executable permissions, ie. the execute flag '+x' is already set.

4. Double-click on the script to run. A progress bar will display installation status.

5. After a successful installation, the folder where AMC is installed will be opened.

6. An AMC Desktop icon is created (see Note 1 below). AMC will have a default, blank icon because AMC is not yet trusted application. Follow these steps to enable the AMC icon. These are required for the first AMC installation only.
