Download it
Unzip it
Open up the 'upload' folder in the unzipped addon folder to find a folder named 'src' (maybe others)
Use your ftp program, open up your XF directory
Drag all the contents of the unzipped 'upload' folder (ie src folder) into your XF directory

Go to Addons>Addons in the admin control panel
You should now see the add-on waiting to be installed

Or just go to addons in your ACP and

• click on install/upgrade from archive
• Click on the zip file
• Install

ZIP installation must be copnfigured in config.php first, it does not work out of the box.

Ah yes , this needs to be in the config.php

$config['enableAddOnArchiveInstaller'] = true;

Thanks
But where do we put the Zip file on our local drive
Can it be anywhere?

It's irrelevant.

You browse to it.
