In the ShortPoint Dashboard, click Installation.
In the ShortPoint Dashboard, you will see two installation options:

By default, this option is disabled because scripting capabilities must first be enabled. Make sure to enable scripting capabilities before you proceed with this option. Otherwise, you will receive an error.
