Solution

No, we cannot permanently install software on a computer that has RAM but no secondary storage.

RAM is temporary (volatile) memory, so all data stored in it is lost when the computer is switched off. Software needs to be stored permanently on a secondary storage device, such as a hard disk or SSD. Therefore, without secondary storage, a computer cannot retain the installed software after it is turned off.
