Hey, all.

Per reccomendation of several pals in my quest for an eltheric grouper in Stros M'kai, I have downloaded the Rare Fish Tracker.

The problem is, I don't know how to install it. So, how do I install the addon into my game?

    Most people use Minion to manage their addons and it works great.

    Look for the Elder scrolls online folder in your documents. Go in and open the folder named live. Inside the live folder you will see a folder named addons, extract addons into this folder.

    The addon downloads as a ZIP file, just extract if to some folder, and go to <Documents>\Elder Scrolls Online\live\addons and move the extracted contents to a folder there.

    But yeah, I agree that the simplest way of handling addons is to use Minion.

    As mentioned above, use Minion. It will install and keep all your addons updated for you.
