Step 1 :- Basically step 1 is to download and install a program called Winrar. This is because most if not all WoW add-ons come packaged in the winrar formats (.rar/.zip) So to download Winrar you have to goto http://www.rarlab.com , then goto the downloads page and download the version for your specific Pc/mac and country (See Picture Below). Once you have downloaded the .exe for winrar , then all you have to do is click on the .exe and it will auto install, you may have to click a yes or no button now and then but thats as difficult as it gets.
Step 2 :- Find a website where you can download the add-on that you would like. Then download then add-on to either your desktop or to a specific folder that you use for downloads. Then either go to the desktop or your downloads folder and click on the newly downloaded .rar file. Then make sure you have open the directory for your Wow interface , which you can usually find in your C drive at C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns . (See Picture Below) Then drag the folder inside of the .rar into the AddOns folder and your done.
Step 3 :- Now after you have closed the .rar file and the wow interface directory , you should start up WoW and log in, but only upto the character screen. Now, in the bottom left hand corner of the character screen is a button entitled " Add Ons " , click this button and a window with a list of you current add-ons will appear on the screen. On this window you have the options to enable a specific add-on for all of your characters or any specific one of them, also you will have the option to load out of date add-ons. What this means is that if you dont want to continually update your add-ons every patch then you dont have to. But this does increase the likelyhood that there will be compatibility problems. It mainly depends on what blizzard update during there patches. So it is recommended that you do try to update yours add-ons after every patch.
