You will need to burn the ISO onto CD and boot from that or follow the
instructions to install it onto some USB media to boot from. It will then boot
into the software. Ideally you need some sighted help to change the boot order
on your machine and also once you are running the software to then go through
and run a scan. There is lots of information as you go through the software
itself.
