[ad_1]

Here are 8 quick steps to install a UI on a PC or Mac.

1. Download the Addon of your choice to your computer.

2. Extract the files to a folder on your computer (IE. Desktop).

3. Open your WoW Folder

  • PC (C: Program FilesWorld of Warcraft)
  • Mac (Macintosh Main HD / Applications / World of Warcraft)

4. In your WoW directory open the Interface folder (If it does not exist, create it)

5. In the Interface directory, open Addons (if it does not exist, create it)

6. Copy the folder that contains your Addon into the proper directory.

Your WoW Directory should now look like this.

  • C: Program FilesWorld of WarcraftInterfaceAddons "Module name"
  • Macintosh HD / Applications / World of Warcraft / Interface / Addons / "Addon name"

"Addon name" should contain the addon you wish to install. Make sure to place the entire folder into your Addons directory and not just its contents.

7. Launch WoW and login to your account.

8. At the character select screen, there should be a button that says "AddOns" in the lower left corner. Click this and make sure all of your addons are checked. Also click on "Load OutDated AddOns".

Thats it!

Frequent problems:

There are 2 main things that will cause your addon to not function enclosed being out of date.

1. The addon files were dragged to the Addons folder outside of their main folder. The entire addon folder must be placed into the Addon folder.

2. The addon should be saved in a single level folder. If there is a subfolder inside of the addons folder, then the addon will not work.
