Thirsty Affiliates want you to pay into their site before they provide help.
This is free software!

I have never used that myself, but reading https://wordpress.org/plugins/thirstyaffiliates/ indicates that you should download https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/thirstyaffiliates.zip
unpack it and

1. Upload the thirstyaffiliates/ folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
3. Visit the new 'ThirstyAffiliates' menu and click 'Add New' to add an affiliate link.
4. Visit http://thirstyaffiliates.com/ for more information, add-ons and support.

quoted from https://wordpress.org/plugins/thirstyaffiliates/installation/

(If you get "access denied" messages, you probably have to temporarily activate administrative authorizations. You might use the command "sudo nautilus" for that. Use caution, because that mode enables you to easily break the system with wrong key presses.)

Can you help with this problem?
