How do I install this addon?

One of the members sent me this top cat flyout module to download. http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...5&update_id=10

I've downloaded, but I can't figure out WHERE to install it. Where do I make the install and code changes in cpanel File Manager?

I haven't been able to make any changes beyond the Admin. It seems the cpanel isn't working, but I'm sure it's just me. Can someone please help with specific instructions on exactly where all these great ideas I'm receiving get installed?

Thanks for your help!

Although changes and updates CAN be performed via cPanel it really isn't the method you (or anyone) should be using.

The BEST method (by far) for updates is to use an FTP program such as Filelzilla, and for performing any code changes you are best to replicate your store on your own computer and use this as a 'staging area' for any changes. When you are happy with the changes you can then use FTP (again) to upload them to the server.

Thanks. I'm relieved to learn that cpanel is necessary and Filezilla and Admin will do the job. That clears alot up for me and I appreciate your response!
