First of all, you need Steam (www.steampowered.com). Download it and install it.

Depending on how fast your connection is and whether Steam detects your HL1 installation, it may take a long time (while it is going, you can read the unofficial NS manual: <a href='http://manual.nsguides.org/)' target='_blank'>http://manual.nsguides.org/)</a>. Eventually, you should be able to get HL1 working in steam. Start up a game of HL1 and exit the program.
All you need is the NS Client v3.0 Beta 5 file. Download and install it. When installing, point it to c:\...\Steam\SteamApps\<i>emailaddress</i>\half-life. It should make a folder in the half life folder, called ns. Inside the ns folder should be lots of files and folders.
Now, restart Steam. Open up the Play Games menu, scroll down to Third Party Games, and double-click on "Natural Selection (beta 5)".

Make sure that it isn't \half-life\ns\ns (i.e. don't nest the ns folder into another ns folder).

You only need these 2 things:
-A working Half-Life CD Key (not Half-Life 2, unless you bought Half-Life 2 Silver Edition, which comes with Half-Life 1; if you did that, then you won't have to go through the Steam installation step, just start up a game of HL1, exit, and skip to the NS Client v3.0 Beta 5 installation step).
-The Natural Selection v3.0 Beta 5 installation file. You can get this here (http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns/view?action=files).

This will install beta 5 no matter what you have done before, so start at the begining!
1) Install Steam (Get the one with the HL cash if you can), if you have already installed Steam you may skip this step
2) Play HL Via Steam (just load up the training mission and then quit)
3) Search Your Hard Drive for NS and NSP
4) Deleate ALL Folders with these names.
4a) If you have a previously working install of an earlier version that you wish to keep: You can rename all NS folders to NSBUP and leave the NSP Folders alone.
4b) If you have a previous install of NS, and wish to keep your configs, cimply copy your .cfg filles (normaly just config.cfg and userconfig.cfg, to your desktop)
5) Close Steam.
6) Run the Beta 5 installer (ns_install_v3_b5.exe)
6a) Point the installer at Steam\SteamApps\Your@email\Half-Life
6b) If you backedup your config files, now is the time to move them to your NS folder.
7) Launch Steam
8) Change your filters so that the point at <b>Natural Selection(Beta 5)</b> Instead of <b>Natural Selection (Beta)</b>
9) Connect and play.
10) If you get any errors (map.bsp, client.dll, or <b>ANYTHING</b>:
a) Search your HDD for NS, there should only be a dir called NS in your Steam\SteamApps\Your@email\Half-Life\NS, unless you backed up a previous install.
b) If it is ANYWHERE elese, try moving it to the correct place, or simply deleate it and start again.
If you still get map.bsp errors, or client.dllrors, start from step 3 again.
If you are POSITIVE that you hvae folowed the directions correctly, then redownload ns_install_v3_b5.exe from another location.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
