Addtional installation notes:

Microsoft One Drive or iCloud usage

If you have a One Drive account or iCloud account connected to your computer, you might have two Desktop folders!

One is the Desktop folder on your local machine, and the other is the Desktop folder in the cloud.

This causes a lot of confusion because your computer displays the contents of both folders on your desktop.

You can figure out where your stuff actually is by opening Finder (Mac) or File Explorer (Windows) and looking inside the individual folders.

Try to put the “shell-lesson-data” folder in your local Desktop.
