# Install and configure software required for jobs
<a name="install-software"></a>

After you set up the Deadline Cloud worker agent, you can prepare the worker host with any software that is required to run jobs.

When you submit a job to a queue with an associated `jobRunAsUser`, the job runs as that user. When a job is submitted with commands that are not an absolute path, that command must be found in the `PATH` of that user.

On Linux, you might specify the `PATH` for a user in one of the following:
+ their `~/.bashrc` or `~/.bash_profile`
+ system configuration files such as `/etc/profile.d/*` and `/etc/profile`
+ shell startup scripts: `/etc/bashrc`.

On Windows, you might specify the `PATH` for a user in one of the following:
+ their user-specific environment variables
+ the system-wide environment variables
