now i cant find edit

this helped me a lot but quick question,must i install animation nodes to find the addon because i cant find the addon but i installed it and unzipped it but instead of it becoming a file its a folder with all the assets
Yes. You should just install the zip file directly, do not unzip it.
oh
ill close this issue if it works
nooooooo,i cant find the addon
Can you check that an animation_nodes folder was created in one of the add-on paths?
https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/advanced/blender_directory_layout.html
whats an add-on path?
Those paths: https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/advanced/blender_directory_layout.html#windows
i cant find an animation nodes path
Does unzipping the animation nodes zip file and putting it in one of the above paths make Animation Nodes appear in the add-ons list?
i cant find the file
Which file? The add-ons directly? Did you check the link above for the directory structure on Windows?
i cant find an animation nodes file
i did check
You download the zip file from here and extract it. It should give you an animation_nodes folder, which you can then put in the right place.
i got the wrong folder,and my free winzip expired
