How do I use this addon?

I know I have to have a layout along with the core addon, but what do I do after that? I must be an idiot because I can't seem to bring up any menu of any kind with slash commands like /ouf and it's not in Blizzard's addon manager.

Thats how oUF works. Most of the layouts have no configuration. They are pre-designed templates.
If you want to do your own configurations for unit frames i suggest Stuf or pitbull. oUF does a fantastic job bit requires editing Lua files. If that doesnt phase you id save dive right in and give it a go.

As MidgetMage stated most oUF layouts (and oUF itself) do not have /commands. All configuration and tweaking is done via lua.

That said, there are now two layouts that have in-game configs:

I would suspect others will be coming with in-game config menus as authors take advantage of the various pre-built config libs such as Portfolio, Ace3 (AceConfig), and others. oUF itself will not come with a in-game config menu as it's the framework on which layouts are built, in-game menus will be supplied with the layouts.

Is the layout supposed to automatically replace the default Bliz UF then? Because, it's not. :l

What layout doesn't replace what frame?
Do you get any errors? Do you have showing of Lua errors enabled in the interface options
Which version of oUF are you trying?

Give us something to work on, and don't just say "it" doesn't work

To expand on what Haste said.

First of all download and install BugSack. BugSack and !Buggrabber need to be installed into their own folders in your AddOns folder.

Then log into WoW. Did you get a bug message (you will see a red sack icon in your MiniMap/FuBar/LDB Display and hear a "Fatality" sound bite)?

If you do, then click the red sack icon. The BugSack window will pop up. Copy the contents of that windows (Ctrl A to select all, Ctrl C to copy). Then paste the contents into a reply to this thread. This much more helpful than simply saying "Its broke".

Posting what layout you are trying to use in addition to the version of oUF (plus any oUF plug-ins) will also help.
