Help with #include "DYPlayerArduino.h"

Hope this is posted to the right category...

I am trying to use a sketch that includes the following line:
#include "DYPlayerArduino.h"

I went here: https://github.com/SnijderC/dyplayer

and found the file "library.json", downloaded it, and it looks like this:

{
"name": "DYPlayer",
"keywords": "MP3, player, DY-SV17F, DY-SV8F, DY-HV20T, DY-HV8F, DY-HV20T, UART",
"description": "Abstracton for DY-XXXX mp3 player modules over UART.",
"homepage": "GitHub - SnijderC/dyplayer: Abstracton for DY-XXXX mp3 player modules over UART.",
"repository": {
"type": "git",
"url": "GitHub - SnijderC/dyplayer: Abstracton for DY-XXXX mp3 player modules over UART.",
"branch": "release"
},
"version": "4.0.0",
"authors": {
"name": "Chris Snijder",
"url": "SnijderC (Chris) · GitHub"
},
"frameworks": "",
"platforms": ""
}

Where do I go from here? Is "library.json" the same as "DYPlayerArduino.h" ?

no
You should download all library code rather than one file. See this about how to download from github:
https://sites.northwestern.edu/researchcomputing/resources/downloading-from-github/

After downloading library as .zip file, you should install it in Arduino IDE as explained in "Installing arduino libraries tutorial in chapter "Manual installation"

Thank you b707 !

It is so simple when you know how to do it. I find Github to be not very user friendly.

Thanks again.

So is the problem solved?
