Once you have the data downloaded, you need to extract the zip file to your local C: drive in the Student folder. This folder may need to be created if it does not exist. The steps are as follows:

4. In the box that appears with the text New Folder, type Student and press your Enter key. You have named your new folder Student.

Next, extract the zip file you downloaded to the Student folder you just created.

5. Locate the ArcGIS-Pro-3.x-Cookbook-main.zip file You downloaded that contains the data for the book. This is typically found in your Downloads folder in File Explorer.
6. Right-click on the zip file and select Extract All from the menu that appears.
7. Click the Browse button and navigate to C:\Student. Then click Extract.
8. In File Explorer, navigate to the C:\Student folder to verify the data extracted properly. You should see a folder named ArcGISPro3Cookbook or ArcGIS-Pro-3.x-Cookbook-main.
