(по)ставить?
Установить/устанавливать
(По)Cтавить can be used colloquially
Установить would be the most widely used one. Literally, "to set up". Установка - Setup, installation.
Less commonly used is also a direct loanword инсталлировать, инсталляция. You might use this when you want to be more specific about the type of setup.
Answers provided are correct I just want to mentioned yet another verb used casually - заинсталлить
(or just заинсталить
since double consonants are relatively rare in Russian), like in following phrases:
Нужно заинсталлить сертификат.
or
При инсталляции Акробата есть предложение заинсталлить и принтер.
As a sidenote - there's even отынсталить
, though it used less often.
