Many of the files provided in this course are ‘zipped’ up so that you can download many files at once easily. If you know how to ‘unzip’ already, skip this lesson. To unzip files you need some free software that unzips files.
Part A – Download 7-zip
We will download and install a free program called 7-zip. It is a well known, free program that will easily unzip programs for you. Go to http://www.7-zip.org/ and download and install the 32 or 64 bit version of 7zip depending on your computer type.
After the program is installed, it is easy to unzip files. Just RIGHT-CLICK on the zipped file you want to unzip and select EXTRACT TO “whatever the zip file name is”.
Part B – Unzip LessonResources.zip
You can now unzip the LessonResources.zip folder that you downloaded in lesson Level01_02.
Notes
A zip file is a file that usually contains many files inside. When you unzip the file, you get all the files and folders inside the zip file. Zip files are a convenient way to send several files to someone.
