How do you install libraries on Kontakt 7?
Good evening, I have just installed Kontakt 7, and in the confirmation email I was also sent some possible libraries that can be installed within Kontakt 7 (an article with the 25 best VSTs of 2023 compatible with K7 written). Once installed, however, now I can no longer insert them into Kontakt, leaving the same library inside the plugin (on MacOs).
Do you know how I can solve this problem?

If you bought them in NI shop, they should appear in Native Access ready to install.
If you bought them somewhere else and they have a serial number, you register it in Native Access and then you should find them authorized and ready to install.
If they don’t have any serial number, they don’t need NA activation and you can load them (.nki file) in Kontakt full version through its Files browser.
In any case, remember it’s a good habit, once installed, to open Kontakt one time in standalone mode to make it build its library

It's already much clearer to me where I was going wrong!
Can I just ask you the right steps to load the libraries from the file browser?
And, also, do you know if by merging multiple libraries into a single folder I can be able to directly insert that folder and install them all together?

You just select the Files tab, point at the folder containing the instruments and double click on the .nki of the instrument you want to load.
You can have multiple instruments under a folder
Since you are using Kontakt 7, you can also add them to its library browser. Follow this article:
