=== How do I install AddOns? === {{faqq}}I downloaded an AddOn but I'm not sure how to get it working in-game, help! {{faqq}}I downloaded an AddOn but it's not showing up under the [AddOns] button in the character select screen, help! {{faqa}}The FAQ at [http://www.wowinterface.com wowinterface.com] has a nice step-by-step walk through on how to install AddOns. There are also a couple images of the right and wrong ways to install, along with a check list of the most common errors, in case you have any difficulties. View it here: http://www.wowinterface.com/forums/faq.php?faq=install#faq_howto_install {{faqq}}Um. This zip file I downloaded doesn't have any folders... just a bunch of files. What should I do? {{faqa}}One of the files in the zip should have the .toc extension (i.e., there should be a file with a name similar to NameOfTheMod.toc). Simply create a new folder under your Interface/AddOns/ directory with the same name (NameOfTheMod), and place all the zipped files into that new folder. {{faqa}}For WinZIP, make sure you use Classic mode and that "View->Files by Folder (Explorer Style)" is ticked and don't use Wizard mode, it will unzip the files into "Interface\AddOns\(ZIP file name)\(addon name)" instead of just "Interface\AddOns\(addon name)".
