Need help with UI set up

[ladywolfxo]

Can anyone help me with how to set up my custom UI? A friend used to walk me through the steps but we've lost touch and I've no clue where to move the files that I've downloaded and what to do from there. :ponder:

Any advice would be much appreciated! :smiley:

From the FAQ stickied on the first page of the UI forums:

Installing Mods

(The following section was written by Rushster and is taken from the old FAQ with some minor edits)

Installation of UI/Mod addon files is actually very simple. When you download a file the author usually keeps the original file path where they should be stored to function. For example...

C:\World of Warcraft\Interface\Addons\Name of UI
However this is not always the case so the best thing to do is unzip or unrar the file (depending on the compression tool used by the author) to a temp directory.

Once you have the file unzipped there will be a folder, usually called the mods name. Copy this folder and paste it into the directory...

C:\Your World of Warcraft Directory\Interface\Addons\
All custom mods have to sit inside this Addons directory for WoW to pick them up. Anywhere else and they simply won’t load when you start WoW.
