Firstly open up the contribution you want to install and read the text file for instructions then. Log into your website admin and download a copy of the files the you want to edite An example is stylesheet.ccs or index.php once you have these files open them with a note pad word pad editer. From here you edite the code from your files by removing and replacing the code from your existing (example) stylesheet.ccs or index.php file and installing new codes from the new contribution that you want to install. Then upload these files back to your website and replace them. as well as any others supplied in the contrabutions zip if required. A word of caution always make a backup copy of the file you are replacing before you do anychanges. And You can down load the latest phpmyadmin and up load it to your website from .phpmyadmin.net Quote ( WARNING ) I think I know what Im talking about.

For other newbies like me, log into admin, then Tools, then File Manager. and there they are! i could not find them before. Thanks for your time, i will try and install a contribution!!
