Unzipping the Manual - Audacity Manual

# Unzipping the Manual

### From Audacity Manual

The Audacity Manual (current at time of release) is included with the software if you obtain the Windows .exe or Mac OS X .dmg installers. These instructions are for users who obtained a zip download of Audacity or are on Linux.

1. Download the zipped Manual
2. Extract the zip contents to a folder called "help". Most Windows extraction tools will do this automatically. If your extraction utility produces only a folder called "manual", create a new folder called "help" and place the extracted "manual" folder inside that new "help" folder.
3. Place the help folder in the correct location. On Windows or Mac OS X, it should go inside the folder containing the Audacity program. In an Audacity installation, this would usually be under "Program Files" on Windows, or under "Applications" on Mac OS X.
   On Linux, the "help" folder should usually go in /usr/share/audacity if Audacity was installed from a repository package, or /usr/local/share/audacity if you compiled Audacity from our source code.
