On MAC computers

If double-clicking does not work, please try the following:

  • Right-click on the .zip package, and select Open With > Archive Utility (default)
  • Archive Utility will appear on your screen and will show the progress of the extraction.
  • Once the files have been extracted, they will appear in a folder located in the same location as the original zip file.
