Step 4 of 8: Mac

Download and decide where to keep your prototypes

1. Create a folder

Create a folder called Projects in your home folder.

You can open your home folder by opening a new finder window and selecting Go and then Home from the top menu.

2. Download the kit

The simplest way to get the kit is to download it as a ZIP.

You’ll use a new copy of the kit for each new prototype you make. That way your prototypes don’t interfere with each other.

3. Unzip the kit

Unzip the kit you downloaded. It should be in your Downloads folder.

You should end up with a ZIP file called nhsuk-prototype-kit followed by the version number.

Unpack that ZIP file by double clicking on it. You should then see another folder named nhsuk-prototype-kit followed by the version number.

4. Rename the folder

Rename the unpacked folder to something descriptive for your prototype.

For this guide, call the folder find-a-pharmacy

5. Move the folder

Move the folder into the Projects folder you created in step 1.
