In order to manually install an addon, first download the addon and unpack its zip file. Everything contained inside the zip file should then be copied into the World of Warcraft\Interface\Addons folder. When you start up World of Warcraft again, click the "addons" button at the bottom left of the character selection screen and make sure that the addon is there and the box in front of it is checked. The addon should now be running properly. If the addon has not been updated for some time, you may need to click the "load out of date addons" option for it to work, but this increases the chance of the addon causing errors.
