There are no drivers to install as sum.mation is class-compliant with both Mac OS and Windows.

Page 6: Installation
System Requirements sum.mation requires a computer and a DAW of course, and an available USB port. Beyond that, a Mac running OS 10.6 and above. For Windows, a PC running Windows 7. Installation Once you have downloaded the plug-ins from the downloads section of the website, simply run the installer, which will place each plug-in version in the appropriate folder for each DAW application. - Page 7 There are no drivers to install, as sum.mation is USB class-compliant. If you are installing multiple sum.mation units on the same computer, you should plug them in and power them up one at a time. This way you will have the opportunity to name each one in your audio setup, so as not to get them confused with one another.
