.......................................................................................................................................... 26 Cascade Training Step 1: Download the Files To begin the cascade training, first you will want to open a Firefox browser. All of the training videos are completed using Firefox. This will help keep the training consistent throughout. Next, you’ll want to go the online Cascade training webpage and under “Step 1,” you’ll see “download the files.” Number 1 is a hyperlink, that when you click on it, will prompt you with a popup box. In Firefox, the default is “save file” and this is exactly what you want to do, you want to save this file. With “save file” selected, we are going to click “ok” and you will see that it has now downloaded our new folder. In Firefox, you can hit the download button and then select the “open containing folder” button. This will take you straight to your “downloads” folder. Here we can see “Extract_Me.zip,” next what we want to do is right click on our zipped folder and select “extract all.” A new pop up box will appear asking you to select a destination and extract files. The default location is perfectly fine and you can head on down to “extract.” A new window will appear and you can close this out. Now within your downloads folder, you should see an “extract_me.zip” and an “extract_me.” The file that you want to use is “extract_me.” We’re going to double click within that and click again, you’ll see a containing folder called, “Cascade_Training.” What we want to do now is send this to our desktop for easier access. Now we can browse to our desktop location and see that we have a Cascade Training shortcut. The files within that are all the files that we work with during the training.
