How do I extract the .zip file?

The project folder is downloaded as a .zip which will need to be extracted first.

For MAC:
Use the archive utility. This is a utility that comes with OS.Simply right-click on the .zip file and ‘open with’ Archive Utility.

For Windows:
You can download both .zip or .rar files. It’s recommended you use WinZip or WinRAR to extract the file.If you don’t have a copy of these you can get a free trial.

Get WinZip here

Get WinRAR here

Once installed simply right-click on the .zip file and ‘open with’ WinZip.

or right-click on the .rar file and ‘open with’ WinRAR.
