Problem installing a library.

I am trying to install the Capactive sensor library. When I get the zip folder, there is the .cpp file, and the .h file, and there are other folders and I don't know what they are for. I tried moving all of it into a folder named CapSense that I put in the Arduino libraries folder, but when I opened one of the example files in the Arduino IDE and tried to upload it, it gave me a bunch of error messages. I have never installed a library, and the page that shows you how to install a library didn't help. I cant do it automatically because the "add library" button is not there. I did everything that the page told me to do, but it is not working. Please help!

Which one?

...but when I opened one of the example files in the Arduino IDE and tried to upload it, it gave me a bunch of error messages.

Such as?

messages that the capsence is undefined... and the only example code that there is. How do I just install the library?

That didn't really help

Which version is your Arduino IDE?
Did you try to update the Arduino IDE?

Once I have the same error with the LCD_I2C library, I already did install a library same type, I solved delete all the i2c lcd libraries and re install the new one.

You must have ZIP FILE not folder - then import ZIP file

If you are missing items in the menu named "Import Library / Add Library" you can try to unpack ZIP file info Documents\Arduino\libraries\LIBRARYNAME folder.

In any case, it would be advisable to install the latest version of the IDE and not have IDE incomplete.
