Step 2 - Extract Addon

Extract the addon into your Windower4-Install-Path/addons/ folder.

Common install paths:

C:/Windower/
/home/$USER/Games/final-fantasy-xi/drive_c/Windower4/

It should look like this:

- - - whereisnm.lua
    - - collector.lua
      - commands.lua
      - floor_detector.lua
      - json.lua
      - logger.lua

Step 3 - Load Addon

In order to load and start the addon, you can load it manually through the following command, in-game:

//lua load whereisnm

If you wish to have it auto-loaded on start-up add this line in your init.txt file:

lua load whereisnm

Step 1 - Download Client

Download the latest Client version.

Step 2 - Extract Client

Extract the Client into your Windower4-Install-Path/addons/whereisnm folder.

You can run the client from anywhere you want, however it’s designed to run from the addon folder and that is the recommendation.

Step 3 - Start Client

In order for the addon to function correctly, you must start the whereisnm.exe, which will start the client in the background. You need to do this manually, alternatively enable autostart in your Windows operating system.
