Well enter the minetest folder open the mods folder and place the unzipped folder there to unzip a file right open it and I move the folder to mods

by **recarv** » Mon Dec 31, 2012 23:41

I will try that out. I kinda don't get that but have a general idea.

by **Chinchow** » Mon Dec 31, 2012 23:45

Make sure to have two folders on the screen one with just the unzipped download and the other with the mods folder opened

by **recarv** » Mon Dec 31, 2012 23:45

I think I didn't unzip it.

by **Chinchow** » Mon Dec 31, 2012 23:46

Double click the zipped folder

by **recarv** » Mon Dec 31, 2012 23:47

How do you unzip? I'm really sorry for being annoyingly stupid.

by **recarv** » Mon Dec 31, 2012 23:47

I have the file in the folder.

by **Chinchow** » Mon Dec 31, 2012 23:48

I had trouble too and you may need to download a zipping program

by **recarv** » Mon Dec 31, 2012 23:49

Do you right click the folder?

by **recarv** » Mon Dec 31, 2012 23:51

I have just downloaded a zipping program.

by **Chinchow** » Mon Dec 31, 2012 23:52

Do you have the mod open with the zip file in view?

by **recarv** » Mon Dec 31, 2012 23:54

I'm deeply sorry for not being a computer know-how. I will open it.

by **recarv** » Mon Dec 31, 2012 23:55

It is open

by **Chinchow** » Mon Dec 31, 2012 23:57

Do you have the mod folder in minetest open as well?

by **recarv** » Mon Dec 31, 2012 23:58

by **Chinchow** » Tue Jan 01, 2013 00:00

Now click and drag the unzipped file into the mods folder

by **recarv** » Tue Jan 01, 2013 00:01

by **recarv** » Tue Jan 01, 2013 00:02

It's installed. Thanks.
