3. In the Add Design Package dialog, browse to C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\Studio\21.0\bin.
4. Select dclsockets270.bpl, and click Open.
5. Click OK to dismiss Install Packages dialog.
6. The socket components (TClientSocket and TServerSocket) are listed in the Internet category of the Toot Palette.

Note: These steps are one-time installation instructions. The socket components should be available for all future projects.
