9. The installer le is packaged in a .zip le, which is a compressed le format that allows you to send mulple
les over the internet as a single le, and compresses them so that the le size is smaller, and thus, faster/easi-
er to transfer. Because of this, you cannot immediately open it like you would a program (a .exe le) or a folder.
Think of a .zip le as a cardboard box or envelope with mulple things in it. You must rst open the cardboard
box with a knife, or the leer with a leer opener, in order to access the contents.
Luckily, Windows 7 and higher edions have .zip extracon funconality built into them. Simply right click the
.zip le, and select “Extract All.”
Note: If you are using an older version of Windows, such as XP, you may have to download and install Win-
RAR, which is a freely available soware. The below image is shown using WinRAR’s context menu opons,
which work with all Windows versions, however, the nave Windows opons are similarly named.
10. Follow the on screen instrucons, hing “Next” unl it shows “Finish,” which aer clicking, will show you
your newly extracted les.
