A network apparatus to install software via a network, where the network apparatus includes a software storage unit, a software retrieval unit, and a software installation unit. The software storage unit stores at least one software program. When information of a hardware is received via the network, the software retrieval unit retrieves the software executable on the hardware from the software storage unit based on the hardware information, and sends the list of the retrieved software to the hardware over the network. When at least one software program is selected from among the retrieved list of the software, the software installation unit extracts the selected software from the software storage unit, downloads the extracted software to the hardware, and automatically installs the downloaded software on the hardware.
