The acquiring unit acquires information about application software from the server. The display controller performs control so as to display an application software display section and a device display section on a single screen. The application software display section displays the information about the application software acquired from the acquiring unit. The device display section displays information obtained by grouping the devices in accordance with attributes of the devices. The commanding unit commands at least one of the grouped and displayed devices to install the application software acquired by the acquiring unit in accordance with an operation performed by a user via the screen displayed by the display controller.
