That’s right! However, you’ve installed your library inside Processing app’s folder itself! 😰

But according to your last posted screenshot, your sketchbook’s path location is “C:\Users\Andrew\Documents\Processing”. 😔

Please follow these wiki instructions on how to do it: 🧐

- [How to Install a Contributed Library · processing/processing Wiki · GitHub](https://GitHub.com/processing/processing/wiki/How-to-Install-a-Contributed-Library)

As a much simpler solution, consider drag & drop your “.jar” file into your sketch, so it goes inside its “code/” subfolder. 😇
