The downloaded package is an installation package; close Scribus and ?ther memory-intensive programs, then you run it either by double-clicking on it or using Add/Remove Programs from Control Panel. The installation process should be straightforward, accept all the defaults. There may be a question about where to install GS, from what I gather the default is something like <C:/Program Files/gs/>; some people like to install straight under <C:/gs>. Your choice. After the installation, open Scribus - yes, it will complain about missing GS, dismiss that window and continue (open or make a new document). Once with Scribus interface open, you choose "File --> Preferences", in this configuration window you locate the "External Tools" icon in the left pane; this opens the External Tools tab. Under the (first) "PostScript Interpreter"-section you enter the location of the GS-executable, either manually or by pressing "Change..." which allows you to browse to your installed program executable, e.g. <C:/Program Files/GS/gs8.64/bin/gswin64c.exe> (or whatewer it's called in your installation). Take a note; in the next section of "External Tools" you may want to similarly enter the path for your prefered Image processing tool, Gimp, Photoshop or whatewer. Screenshots of the Preferences tabs can be seen at: <http://docs.scribus.net/index.php?lang=en&page=settings1> Hope this helps, Sveinn ?
