prerequisite steps / actions


Explanation:
...as in actions that must occur (such as establishing an internet connection) prior to accessing a peer-to-peer network or entering an administrator password prior to granting rwx access permissions for installing new software.

"steps" is an alternative, as in enabling macros in MS Word prior to installing wordfast for example, or connecting wires to certain ports and connecting power cables prior to turning on a computer.
