Minion does not show connection to ESOUI
 

I have installed Minion but it does not show any indication of a connection to ESOUI
Now if I chose an addon how does it go into Minion?

OK probably that all sounds dumb but I am not young and up to date with computers, like my 4yr old granddaughter who sits there reading off a computer plate like a pro.

Choose the ESO addons directory within Minion, select ESO at the left side as the game, change to "Search addons" tab (non installed, 2nd tab from left), search your addon, click on install.
Login the game and check if the addon is there, enable it, play.

Same for updating the addon the other day, just take the first tab from the left (Installed) and update them instead of (re)installing them.
