Most installation tasks can be performed with the Toad for Oracle Edition Installer; however, you can optionally extract the individual product installers (.msi files) from the Edition Installer. This is useful for advanced installation scenarios, such as silently deploying Toad and other products to multiple machines within your organization.

You can install Toad in the following ways:
Use the Toad for Oracle Edition Installer to install Toad. When you start Toad, it retrieves your license entitlements and then guides you through installing any additional products included with your edition.
You can run the installer silently to install Edition products without displaying the user interface. This is useful for automated or scripted deployments. See Install silently from the command line in this guide.
You can use a read-only installation to give users query access while preventing any data updates or modifications. See Install as read-only in this guide.
