For the remainder this instruction assumes you have installed Lazarus in c:\lazarus, and you want to use the default subdirectory c:\lazarus\docs\doc-html\. In what follows, adjust the path according to your installation.

−
First, extract this file to c:\lazarus\docs\doc-html. You now have subdirectories like rtl and lcl.
 
−
In lazarus, go to Help -> Configure Help -> Databases tab.

−
(The stupid setup doesn't provide any default, and requires to specify each subdirectory, instead of only the common path, so...)

Select RTLUnits in the left pane and browse to c:\lazarus\docs\doc-html\rtl in the BaseURL property.

The BaseURL property now contains: 'file://c:/lazarus/docs/doc-html/rtl'. The URL on a *nix might look like: 'file:///home/myhome/lazarus/docs/doc-html/rtl'.

Similarly change the BaseURL for the FCLUnits and LCLUnits help databases by replacing rtl by fcl rsp. lcl in the url.
