How To Manually Install Addons Wow
'World of Warcraft' supports the use of add-ons, user-created tools to enhance your gameplay. Whether you're installing a boss mod to warn you of dangerous boss mechanics or an RP-enhancing tool to flesh out your character's history and personality in-game, add-ons are all installed to the same folder. You can install add-ons manually, or use an add-on client to install them for you.

How To Manually Install Addons Wow
Manual Installation
Download the add-on you wish to install to your desktop. Unzip the folder by right-clicking it and selecting 'Extract All.' Copy the extracted folder and paste it into the Add-Ons folder for WoW's program files. The file path should look like the following:
C:Program FilesWorld of WarcraftInterfaceAddOns
Once pasted, the add-ons only need to be activated in-game to be ready for use.
Client-based Installation
Add-on clients simplify the installation and updating of add-ons by automating the process. Typically, you download and install the client, then select add-ons from their website and install using their 'Install via client' option. Some clients instead require you to install the add-on manually, then update via the client. Curse Client, WowMatrix and Wootbit Client are some commonly used add-on clients. Some groups, like Tukui, use a proprietary client to update add-ons they produce, like the Tukui and ElvUI user interface add-ons.
Activating Add-Ons
To activate your add-ons, click the 'AddOns' button on the character selection screen. You can select which add-ons are active for which character by selecting the character name from the drop-down list and checking the check-boxes for add-ons you want to use. Check the 'Load Out-of-Date AddOns' check-box to enable add-ons listed as 'out-of-date,' which are often still useful. When you log in, your add-ons will be active.
