For All Addons:
-Go to Curse.com and find the addon that you want to install, and click the download button
-Select Manual Install
-Save the file..saving it to your desktop is a quick/easy way, if you didn’t
-Find the file and right click to Extract All
Next you’ll need to place the extracted files into your World of Warcraft Files, this is different for different operating systems.
For Windows Vista
-Open the file, if it’s not on your desktop, it should be in your Downloads Folder, open the addon
-Double Click the addon
-Choose Extract All (upper toolbar)
-It will ask you where to extract to now, and you must find your WoW files, and tell it where to put the file
-Mine were in Public-Games-World of Warcaft-
-Inside the World of Warcraft files continue into the folders Interface then Addons
-Select Ok
For Windows XP
-It should have saved to your desktop, unless you said other wise, so go to the file… Right Click, then Extract All
-Next find your WoW Folders…mine were in C: Program Files
-Open your World of Warcraft main folder, then Interface, then Addons
-Click on the Addon, and drag it into the Addon Folder
For Mac
-Works just like XP
-Place the files in the WoW Folders – Interface – Addons
-If that doesn’t work, get a program called WowMatrix, it will let you install the .exe files that your Mac hates.
Troubleshooting
-Some Addon files are in an extra folder, so if they aren’t working…
-Go to the Addon you’re downloading inside the Interface-Addons file
-Open the Addon you’re downloading, use the folder in there
Example:
If Auctioneer isn’t working right, and you followed the steps as described here, go to your Program Files/WorldofWarcraft/Interface/Addons
In here you’ll see the Auctioneer Folder. Open this folder, and use the Auctioneer Folder inside. Open it first and make sure it has several files, if so it’s the folder you’ll need to place in the Addons Folder.
