Have you got the library installed on your PC and, if so, where is it located ?

yes I downloaded the all the libraries, its stored in downloads by default, and I have shared the path link in sketchbook location.

Is the file in downloads a zip file or something else ?

What exactly do you mean by this ?

no, it was in zip format but i extracted it

Where did you extract it to ?

in downloads

Delete the files that you extracted. They are in the wrong place

In the IDE do Sketch/Include Library/Add .ZIP library and install it properly
