H2: Installing the Software
-One you have successfully tested the software, you are ready to install it.
+Once you have successfully tested the software, you are ready to install it.
You will need to have write permission
to the installation directories you specified when you ran configure.
By default OpenLDAP is installed in {{F:/usr/local}}. If you changed this
setting with the {{EX:--prefix}} configure option, it will be installed
in the location you provided.
