The Office Deployment Tool (ODT) is a program created by Microsoft to easily install the Enterprise version of Office on multiple PCs. Because the needs of businesses and organizations differ greatly from those of standard users, ODT provides more control over an Office installation. You can define which products and languages are installed, how those products should be updated, and whether or not to display the installation experience to your users. It gives full control over what the end users will receive.
We have prepared two methods for using ODT to install Microsoft Office LTSC:

2. Create a folder that you can easily find, preferably in the root directory of your drive, to serve as the location for extracting the Office Deployment Tool files. Name this folder “ODT” without the quotes. For example, create C:\ODT, where C:\ is the root directory and ODT is the folder name.
3. Download the Office Deployment Tool from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=49117
4. Extract the files to the ODT folder you created in step 2.
