- Open the downloads folder and find the Spotify file you just downloaded.
- Double-click on the file to open it.
- Drag the Spotify icon to the Applications folder.
- Wait for the file copy to complete.
That's it! You now have Spotify installed on your Mac. To open the application, simply go to the Applications folder and double-click on the Spotify icon.
Create a Spotify Account
If you do not yet have a Spotify account, you will need to create one to use the application. You can do this directly from the application or from the Spotify website.
To create a Spotify account, you will need to provide a valid email address and create a password. You will also have the option to log in with Facebook if you prefer.
Once you have created your account, you can log in to Spotify and start enjoying your favourite music.
