As a part of your learning
journey here at Treehouse,
0:00
you'll probably come across zip files.
0:03
Zip files are compressed files making
them easier to share and store.
0:06
Will use them to share course files,
project files and more.
0:12
Here I am showing the Downloads tab
Underneath the video on a course
0:17
here on our Treehouse website.
0:22
Now, when I click this link,
0:25
it'll download the zip file into my
downloads folder on my computer.
0:27
Let's navigate to our Downloads folder,
0:33
Downloads, and
you can see we have basic-oop.zip.
0:37
Now, I can't access the file or
0:42
files inside of this zip until I unzip it.
0:46
I can do that by double clicking on the
file or I can right click on the file and
0:52
choose Open.
0:56
I'm gonna do double click.
0:57
Now, you can see it opens up the folder
and it shows all of the folders and
1:03
files and everything that comes inside
of the Project Files for this course
1:10
Sometimes it's easier to move
the zip file where you want
1:21
these files to end up
before unzipping them.
1:25
But you can always move them after too.
1:29
So you can either move this
into your Documents and
1:32
then double click it to open it.
1:37
So it's in here and
then you can delete out your zip file.
1:40
Or once you've opened it, you can
just move this over as well into your
1:47
Documents, whichever way is easier for
you.
1:51
In the teachers notes below this video,
I also linked to our,
1:54
How to Use Treehouse Workshop.
1:58
That goes into more detail
about what is available to you.
2:00
I hope you enjoy your learning
experience here at Treehouse.
