Installing CavPack with Arma3Sync is super simple, follow along closely and you'll have no issues.
 
# Download and Install Arma3Sync.

# Click the blue plus icon on the right hand side to add a Repo.
# Paste in the following URL for "Public auto-config url" and click "Import"
## https://downloads.7cav.us/arma/cavpack/.a3s/autoconfig
