More on finding minor moons in carte du ciel

[Demonperformer]

This is a follow-on to this thread, but I am starting a new one as that one was last used 3 years ago.

This is what I have done:
* Updated CdC to v4.3 from here
* Ticked 'show the faint satellites of the outer planets' in Setup|Solar System
* Followed this link to get the SPICE Kernel, but it says I have to update from inside the program.
* Found this under Solar System|SPICE Ephemeris: clicked 'Download Solar System object SPICE kernel from JPL Horizon', which takes me to a page with a mass of technical jargon that I dont understand, but not a download button in sight.

Can anyone explain to this dummy (preferably in words of one syllable) how I download this so I can get it to display the outer jovian satellites?

Thanks.

What you found in Solar System|SPICE Ephemeris not for satellites but for NEO.

The page you link indicate:
use the menu Update / Install object catalog
select the tab "Solar system"

Maybe more clear with a picture here: https://groups.io/g/skychart/topic/new_catalog_for_beta_version/103738483

Thank you so much for your response. The picture helped a lot.

I was looking under Setup|Update instead of Setup|Catalog - no wonder I couldn't find install object catalog (told you I needed words of one syllable!). Now installed and satellites are showing nicely.

Thanks.
