Anybody help setting up Stockfish 8 on Arena?

I'm kind of stupid in these kinds of things. I've already set up Arena but I can't use stockfish. It only takes me to Winzip. Can anybody please help me what to do here?

Once you download Arena and install it. Download Stockfish(or any other engine you wish to install) Extract the files from the ZIP(and remember where you put the extracted file) then open Arena, on the top toolbar click "Engines" then click "Install Engine" then a box will pop up, find the executable in the engine file you extracted and click on that. Arena will ask if it's a UCI or Winboard engine. With most new engines including Stockfish click UCI and your engine is installed. If you wish to use it to play against or to analyze a game, click "engines" again then "load engine" and you're in business.
