Getting started

From WUUki

1. Download WUU and unpack it to a directory of your choice (if you're using OS X or Linux you might have to install Python and/or wxPython too)
2. When you first start WUU, you'll be asked to select your WoW directory (unless the default is correct). Select the directory that contains your WoW.exe/World of Warcraft.app, NOT your AddOns-directory. This setting will be saved in the file settings.wurm.xml in %USERPROFILE%\WUU, ~/.wuu/ or ~/Library/WUU when the program exits normally.
3. Scan your addons directory by using Addon → Scan from the menu, or hitting Ctrl-D - this will populate the list with your addons (they'll all be marked as [Unknown] at this point)
4. Set up the source sites by updating with the master list (Addon → Update with online database) - hit Ctrl-D (or Addon → Scan) once more when it's done to refresh the list (at this point, most of your addons should have "?" in the local version number, and be marked with a light red color - WUU uses different version numbers than the mod authors, so the local versions will be unknown until you've updated the addon once in WUU),
5. Check what versions are available online by using Addon → Check online version or hitting Ctrl-V - please wait until it's done with all your addons before continuing.
6. Either select addons to update individually (multiple addons can be selected by using Shift or Ctrl) and hit the Update button, or update all addons by using Addon → Upgrade all (or Ctrl-U) - WUU will then download and extract the newest version of the addons.
7. Consult the WUU FAQ to see how to deal with addons marked as [Unknown] still
