Elvui is a special user interface for World of Warcraft: it improves the gaming experience, allowing you to refine, customize and configure the original version of WoW. To install this add-on, you need to download it from the developer website, then copy the files to the game's "Add-ons" folder on your computer.

Step 5. Open the "Interface" folder, then the one called "Add-ons"

Part 2 of 2: Troubleshoot Installation Issues
Step 1. Try using Tukui's Windows client instead of Curse's if you are using a program to add ElvUI to WoW
Tukui's client is designed to manage all add-ons downloaded from the Tukui website, while Curse's client no longer supports those add-ons.
Step 2. Go back to the ElvUI download page at https://www.tukui.org/dl.php, then download the latest version of the add-on if the interface no longer works properly
In some cases, ElvUI may not work correctly after the release of newer versions.
Step 3. Verify that the ElvUI files are not inside subfolders in the WoW "Add-ons" directory
In this case, they might not load properly from the game.
Step 4. Make sure you extract the contents from the archive before trying to move them to the WoW folder
If you don't have a default archive decompression program installed on your computer, you can download WinZip, WinRar or 7zip on Windows or The Unarchiver or StuffIt on Mac OS X.
Step 5. Close and reopen WoW if you don't see ElvUI in the Add-on menu
In most cases, the game will not display the add-on until restarted.
