Using your favorite extraction utility, extract the contents of the zip file into the addons folder.
Note
If you are upgrading from a previous release, make sure you fully delete all of the RDX folders before extraction.
When you first start the game with Brethren RaidFrames installed you will be prompted with the RDX Installer. Different options will be shown depending on whether or not you are upgrading from a pre-30 release or installing fresh.
If you are installing Brethren RaidFrames for the first time you will see the following window.
Make sure Install Brethren Raid Frames is checked and hit OK. Doing so will bring up the following window.
For this window, select whether or not you want your main tank window to show the tank's target and targettarget or to show the tank only. Hitting OK will reload the UI.
If you are upgrading your old install of Brethren RaidFrames you will see this as the second screen.
Since you are upgrading this window provides a method of migrating you old desktops and bindings to the current character if desired. You will see this window on all of your characters when they first log in.
After your UI has been reloaded you will be presented with the Getting Started Wizard. We will now walk though the wizard and look into what each option means starting with the second page.
You will select the Raid Template in this step. When you click a template in the window, the template will change on the screen as well. To learn more see Raid Template
In this step you will select the look of the health bars. Clicking on a frame style in this window will show a real time preview in the preview box. To learn more see Frame Settings.
Setting up mouse bindings is highly recommended, just click the Setup Bindings button to open the following window.
Through this window you can assign mouse buttons 1-5 with ctrl, shift, and alt modifiers to any spell, macro, or other misc function. For more on this window please see: Character Bindings
Note
This step is optional, after the wizard is complete your windows will be fully operational.
While the window positions of the default templates give you a good idea of what they have to offer. These positions are probably not practical for raid use and will require some adjustment. To move a window you must shift click on the title bar and drag. You can un dock and access the layout menu by right clicking on the window's title bar.
You can edit the scale, alpha, anchor point, and various other layout options via the layout properties window.
Once you have all of your windows in place you are done. Further configuration can be done via the Brethren RaidFrames Options window, and various other RDX configuration editing tools. Please refer to the main documentation for more info.
By default RDX switches desktops based on if you are in a raid, group, solo, in a battleground, or in a inn/city. If for any reason you need to switch the desktop manually, use the quick desktop button.
