OK, well if you are a Steam user then I have a link for you to a guide that had the installation steps, but I will also copy and paste them here incase we have misunderstood each other in some fashion.
ALL THESE ARE FROM Steam User NIMRODX excellent guide , located in the GUIDE section in Commands' Steam Hub community area:
Start Here: The Step-by-Step, Just Bought It, "Read This First" Guide to Setting up And Learning Command: MANO
The following can also be found in STEP 1 of the Guide from the link above ,
Additional Database Images and Descriptions (optional but recommended)
CMANO contains a massive database (technically, two databases) of real-world military equipment and some hypothetical equipent. Unfortunately many of the units, weapons, and equipment in the database don't have photos and some lack textual descriptions.
I highly recommend installing the extra images and descriptions. I personally think it's worth doing even before starting the tutorials, but it's not that big of a deal to skip this.
There's already a much longer more detailed guide here for how to install these, but I'll include a short version here for those who already know how to copy files from ZIP archives and just need to know what goes where.
Download the ZIP files for the images and decriptions that are linked to on this page[www.warfaresims.com]. There are three ZIP files: CWDB (Cold War Database) Images, DB3000 Images, and Descriptions.
Once done downloading (might take a bit as this is about 2GB of images), open your downloads folder and pick one of the image archives to install first. Open that ZIP file and navigate to where you see the huge directory full of images.
Make sure CMANO (the game) is not currently running. Exit it if it is.
Go back to Steam and right click on Command: MANO in your steam library, select Properties, then click the LOCAL FILES tab, then click the BROWSE LOCAL FILES button. This should open up the install directory for the game wherever Steam installed it.
The image files and descriptions are instaled in the following subdirectories inside the install folder:
DB\Images\CWDB
DB\Images\DB3000
DB\Descriptions\CWDB
DB\Descriptions\DB3000
Either drag or copy-paste all of the files in the appropriate directory in the ZIP file to the corresponding directory in the instal directory. You'll know you're in the right directory when the names match and you see that some images and descriptions are already in that directory.
If you don't know how or aren't sure how to copy large numbers of files in Windows, check out this more detailed guide on exactly how it is done.
When Windows asks whether to replace existing files, just say yes. I'm not 100% sure which set of files is more up-to-date when it comes to the duplicates, but I'm betting on the new ones you downloaded. In reality, most of the dupliate filenames contain the same thing.
Do the same thing for the other ZIP files. Notice that the Descriptions ZIP file contains directories for both databases since it's so small in size compared to the images.
With that finished, you are done with the annoying manual file copying stuff.
This next LINK is HALF LIFE EXPERTS much more detailed guide dedicated solely to the installation of the DB Images , if the steps above fail, or you need more in depth instructions then this will be the answer ....
Half Lifes DB Image installation guide
This is much larger so I will not copy and paste it, unless you cannot for some reason find it.
Your English is perfectly fine I might add, you are easier to understand than some that are native to it actually 
Good luck !
