How to install the XLlama add-in on macOS

Step 1: Unzip the File

After downloading, make sure the .zip file is unzipped. Safari often does this automatically. If not, double-click it to unzip. You should now see a file named: XLlama.xlam

Step 2: Move It to the Add-Ins Folder

Now move the file from your Downloads folder to Excel’s official Add-Ins folder: /Users/YourName/Library/Group Containers/UBF8T346G9.Office/User Content/Add-Ins

To get there:

1. Open Finder

2. In the top menu, click Go

3. Hold the Option key — now click Library

4. Go to: Group Containers > UBF8T346G9.Office > User Content > Add-Ins

5. Copy or drag the XLlama.xlam file into this folder

💡 Tip: With that folder open, press Command + Control + T to bookmark it in your sidebar for easier access next time.

Step 3: Load It in Excel

1. Open Excel

2. Go to Tools > Excel Add-ins…

3. If XLlama.xlam is listed, check the box and click OK

4. If not listed, click Browse, navigate to the Add-Ins folder, select XLlama.xlam, then click OK

That’s it. Excel will now load XLlama every time it starts.

How to Uninstall

Go to Tools > Excel Add-ins…, uncheck XLlama, and click OK. The file will stay in the list in case you want to re-enable it later.
