Click the 'Installers' tab, this might invoke a pop-up warning, if it does click on ‘Yes’ and it should load very quickly, as there is nothing yet in the package repository. Adding a new package to BAIN is as easy as dropping a zip file into the bash installers directory. A full crc scan of the package repository (''Bash Installers\'') is initiated every time the installers tab is selected and any new mods found will be appended in alphabetical order to the package list. It should be noted that WB recognizes the contents of both extracted folders (called '''projects''') and archives (called '''packages'''); however, it is strongly recommended that installers be kept in archive format as a standard practice, as this is not only a more efficient use of space, but for some reason, it takes WB significantly longer to scan a given project than it does its corresponding package. | Click the 'Installers' tab, this might invoke a pop-up warning, if it does click on ‘Yes’ and it should load very quickly, as there is nothing yet in the package repository.

#Open a web browser and navigate to the [http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=11 STEP site on the Nexus], and download the latest STEP guide (v2.0.1a '''[Preview #3]''' at the time of this writing). | |||
#Carefully follow TheCompiler’s (creator of STEP) instructions through STEP 2, Sec. A (Script Utilities). | |||
#Download mod groups 1 through 6 as listed in STEP 2, Sec. B1 (''Textures\Graphics'') and place each package into your Bash ''Installers\'' directory. | |||
#Click on the WB program title bar or task bar icon to bring it into focus. This will prompt a refresh of the Installers as the newly-added packages are scanned by BAIN, so allow a few minutes for this process to complete. | |||
#Once BAIN finishes there are a couple of different ways to organize the installers such that the STEP install order is honored; however, it is recommended that packages be renamed according to the name given by TheCompiler in the STEP Guide. This allows differentiation according the the numeric prefixes as in the guide and sorting by package. | |||
