Scott.Divish Lightning Alternatives to JavaScript Buttons
I'm truly not a developer, and yet a Trailhead lesson is requiring me to perform as such to complete it.
The subject Trailhead lesson says to Create A Lightning Action. I've downloaded the indicated installation package for quickcontact lightning component. However, I don't know where to go with step 2 below. I tried to glean the needed information from the lesson, but, again, I'm not a developer and don't understand all the code. If someone could point me in the right direction...using declaritive verbage...I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks, Scott

To complete this challenge, you need to add a Lightning component to your org. Then use that component to create a Lightning action on the Account object. When the action’s button is clicked, it creates a new contact based on form input. To get started, install this package that contains the component bundle that you'll need to modify.
1. The Lightning component must be named quickContact.
2. Add the appropriate interfaces to the quickContact component. (Hint: there are two.)
3. Create a new action with Label Quick Contact and Name Quick_Contact on the Account object that invokes the quickContact component.
4. Add the action to the Account Layout page layout.

The only reason I have seen for the component not to be listed is if you did not implement the interface for the force:lightningQuickAction in your actual Lightning component. Basically, it was step 2 where it said: Add the appropriate interfaces to the quickContact component. (Hint: there are two.)
What you will need to do is this (assuming you have sucessfully installed the package as directed)
1.) Open Developer Console
2.) Go to File - Open Lightning Resources
3.) Locate the component that was installed named quickContact
4.) Add the following code to the aura:component tag: implements="force:hasRecordId,force:lightningQuickAction"
5.) Go to File - Save and make sure it saves ok.
6.) Go back to your instance of developer org and pull back up the Action. You may have to do a refresh, but it should be there if you implemented the force:lightningQuickAction interface.
Hope that helps

Follow the below steps.
1) Goto Setup->Object Manager -> Account -> Click on "Button Links and Action" -> New Action.
2) For lightning Component Select component "c:quickContact". Label as "Quick Contact" click on Save.
3) Got to Account layout Click on Account Layout and add Quick Action to Account lay out. Click on Salesforce1 & Lightning Action. then add Quick Contact to the page layout.(If you do not find a way to add action then click on wrench icon you will see all the quick action)
4) Open Account record which Will look like below.

Yes, I did load the package per the instructions too. Here is the quickcontact component in my DEV org:
What concerns me is that even though the package is installed and the component is available, why isn’t it showing as available when creating the New Action. I’m assuming there is some code that needs to be completed. Not being a developer…I don’t’ know.
Thanks,
