Installerad

Installerad is a Swedish adjective and past participle form of the verb installera, meaning that something has been placed or set up on a device, system, or environment. It is commonly used to describe software, drivers, hardware components, or configurations that are present on a computer or network.

Grammatical usage is straightforward but requires attention to gender. For en-ord nouns, the form is installerad (e.g., en installerad drivrutin). For ett-ord nouns, the form is installerat (e.g., ett installerat program). In predicative constructions with the verb vara (är), the participle agrees with the subject: Programvaran är installerad; Systemet är installerat.

Usage examples include: Den installerade programvaran fungerar som den ska. Det installerade operativsystemet har uppdaterats. In shorthand or informal contexts, people may simply say att något är installerat, liksom att något har installerats, depending on tense and construction.

Etymology and related terms: installerad derives from installera, which in turn comes from the same root as the English install and the French installer, with roots in Latin orekonstrutioner related forms. Related terms include installation (en ord for the process or package of installation), installera (to install), och installerbart (installable in some contexts).

See also: installation, installera, programvara, drivrutin, hårdvara. The term is primarily used in IT, computing, and technical contexts to indicate that a component or program has been properly placed and is operational on a system.
