Using Zip Files

1. You must first have The SWORD Project for Windows downloaded and installed.
2. Download the module from the SWORD Module Add-in Download Section by clicking the download link. When you have clicked the link once, wait, a dialog box will come up and ask you if you want to save the file, click "OK". Another dialog box will come up and ask you where you would like to download the file to on your computer, pick some that you will remember like a folder that you create on your hard drive that is called "sword modules".
3. This is a good time to say that you will need a zip utility such as WinZip to finish installing. So go download and install this if you need it.
4. When the file is done downloading you need to double clicked the "My Computer" icon on your desktop. Find the file you downloaded and double click it. This will start your zip utility, if you don't have a zip utility then read the previous step. Extract all the files from the zip file to the location you install The SWORD Project for Window. This is typically something like C:\Program Files\The SWORD Project\

For Linux

1. Download the module of your choice from the SWORD Module Add-in Download Section by clicking the download link.
2. Save the file somewhere on your computer you will remember-- e.g., your $HOME directory (~user used for this directory in the following instructions).

Note: Because of systemwide file permissions, you will likely need be root to continue. To be root use the 'su -' command.


3. Change directories to /usr/share/sword/ (if you used ./usrinst.sh to configure and build the sword library; otherwise, this may be different, like: /usr/local/share/sword. Consult /etc/sword.conf to see).
4. Finally unzip the zip file by issuing a command similar to:
   # unzip ~user/KJV.zip
