Landscapes

OK, so you have the .zip file on your computer.

What you should do is locate your User Data Directory. The location depends on your operating system. This page will tell you how to find it:

http://stellarium.org/doc/0.10.5/fileStructure.html

As a confirmation that you got the right place, you should see the file config.ini in that directory.

OK, in the User Data Directory, create a new folder called "landscapes"

Copy the _contents_ of the downloaded .zip files into this new landscapes folder. Each .zip file has it's own folder, so after installing a couple of landscapes you should see a folder structure like this (UDD = user data directory)

UDD/
UDD/landscapes/
UDD/landscapes/jungfraujoch/
UDD/landscapes/jungfraujoch/landscape.ini
UDD/landscapes/jungfraujoch/jungfraujoch-4096.png
UDD/landscapes/jungfraujoch/Sphinx-Observatory_Jungfraujoch.kmz
UDD/landscapes/sahara/
UDD/landscapes/sahara/landscape.ini
UDD/landscapes/sahara/sahara.png
UDD/landscapes/sahara/readme.txt

I hope that is clear.

After the next release there will be a feature where you select a .zip file from within Stellarium and it will do the installation for you.

My god, professor stephen hawking will understand all that, i cant !

Is there a really simple way of doing it Matthew please ?
I have not a clue on what to do here.
I clicked the link you have here but when i read it, it waslike reading double dutch mate.
PC's are not my forte mate !

Thanks for your help and patience Matthew

It is a little manual at the moment. I think the best thing is to wait for the next release and use the automatic install feature.

okey dokey Matthew, i will wait for next release mate.

Thanks
