- During the Installation process you have different options and can proceed with only **Client Components**, only **Server Components**, or **All Components**:

![install jet reports](https://globaldata365.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/x4.png)

**Client Components** are those applications that reside on your local system. Jet Excel add-in is the primary example of this.

 

**Server Components** are those applications that typically reside on a server (for example, Jet Hub and the Jet Service Tier). These would require an administrator to implement them properly.

 

We will choose **Client Components** in order to install the Jet Excel add-in.

 

- After selecting **Client Components**, you have to select the specific features you want to install.
