How to Unzip and Set Up the Project Folder

Learn how to extract the downloaded project ZIP file and find the actual project folder on your computer.

Step 1: Download the ZIP File

After purchasing the template, you’ll get a file named something like:

Notion-as-a-CMS-Nextjs-Portfolio-Blog-Template-v1.0.zip

( v1.0 ← The version may vary.)

It’s usually saved in your Downloads folder.

Step 2: Unzip the Folder

Windows

  1. 1.a.i.
    Right-click the ZIP file and choose Extract All.

  4. 4.d.iv.
    Open that folder - inside it, you’ll see the main project folder named:

    notion-as-a-cms-nextjs-portfolio-blog-main

    Image

macOS

  1. 1.a.i.
    Double-click the ZIP file.
  2. 2.b.ii.
    It will automatically unzip and create a new folder with the same name.
  3. 3.c.iii.
    Open that folder - inside it, you’ll find the actual project folder:

    notion-as-a-cms-nextjs-portfolio-blog-main

Step 3: Open the Project Folder

Inside notion-as-a-cms-nextjs-portfolio-blog-main you should see files like:

Plain Text
/notion-as-a-cms-nextjs-portfolio-blog-main
│
├── src/
├── public/
├── package.json
├── README.md
└── ...

That’s your working folder - you’ll open this one in your code editor (like VS Code).

Step 4: Move It (Optional)

You can move the project folder anywhere you prefer, for example:

  • Documents/Projects/
  • Desktop/NotionCMS/

Step 5: Done

Your project folder is ready.
