How to install Magic Lantern step by step + VIDEO

And first I totally need to say:

Software can damage or destroy your camera
Never delete the Magic Lantern files from the card. Format the card instead
To take a card from a camera, open a card door and only after 5 seconds or LED confirmation you can extract it (It is very important! Do it every time!)

Well, If you are here then do this steps:

• 1. Charge your battery to full, remote all assessoties from your camera
• 2. Go to Menu and check the version of Canon firmware or firmware of your system, in my 5D Mark II it is 2.1.2
• 3. It is recommended to restore to default settings – to do it choose Clear settings in Menu.
• 4. Format the card in your camera – (low level format) in Menu
• 5. Choose Manual mode on your camera

PC

• 6. Go to http://builds.magiclantern.fm/ and check that version of firmware on your camera matches to a version of Magic Lantern
• In my camera I have version Canon firmware 2.1.2 , and Magic Lantern 5D Mark II 2.1.2 is up for me.
  If your firmware is correct, skip this step and follow the next.
  • * But In case your firmware is higher or lower, please update it for a version you need to install ML. You can type, for example, Canon 5D Mark II firmware into Google, and find it on official site or follow a link
    https://www.usa.canon.com/support/p/eos-5d-mark-ii – link to Canon 5D Mark II firmware
  • Now we see DOWNLOADS
  • In section Software and Driver Results choose the Firmware. Then download a correct zip file for Windows or Mac. After extraction, there must be a PDF-file with instructions in 5 languages – Japanese, English, French, Spanish, and Simplified Chinese. Please, read instructions carefully and follow them
• 7. Download Magic Lantern from http://builds.magiclantern.fm/ to your computer
• 8. Open a card door on your camera and only after 5 second or LED confirmation extract the card
• 9. Connect your card to a computer and unzip all Magic Lantern files to root of your card, not in folders
• 10. Put the card in your camera, go to the menu settings and choose Firmware Update. Then follow the instructions you will see
• 11. After installing you will see a green message to restart the camera. And then restart the camera
• 12. So, there is User guide in some versions of ML in a camera. To read it you should press DELETE bottom on your camera. But my version doesn’t have it. The only consolation is that ML works great and it is not hard to work with.
