Downloading Modules and Installing Without Install Manager

1. You should first have your SWORD Project software installed before installing Module Add-ins.
2. Download the module from the SWORD Module Add-in Download Section by clicking the download link. Be sure to choose the correct column: Windows, if you would like a windows installer included in the download; or Raw, if you are not running Windows or would prefer to install without the Windows installer (smaller download). Be sure to save the file where you can find it again once downloading is complete.
3. Unzipping the archive:
   
   
   Windows: Find the folder to where you downloaded the module and double-click the .zip file. If Windows asks you for what application to use for opening the file, you will first need to install an unzip utility on your machine. There are many unzip utilities available free of charge and most software that you download from the internet will be in zip format, so it is a good idea to have one installed on your machine. You may visit http://www.tucows.com for an assortment of free unzip utilities. After successfully opening the zip file with your unzip utility, there may be an [Install] button available for you to install the software. Some unzip utilities provide this function. If you do not see this option, unzip the contents of the zip file to a folder, and then, from that folder, double-click on the Setup.exe program. Follow the steps in the Installation program.
   
   
   Raw: Find the directory where your sword modules are installed. This directory will contain subdirectories: mods.d and modules. Some possibilities include \Program Files\CrossWire\The SWORD Project, or /usr/share/sword. Unzip the module to this directory. The module zip file will unzip to populate the mods.d and modules subdirectories.
