How do I install Family ?
- Return to the Download Page, click "Download" - Be patient while download takes place. It may take several minutes.
- Locate the downloaded ZIP file, which is represented by a single file called "Revolution.zip".
Depending on your Computer, Operating System and Browser Preferences, it may be on the deskTop, in the Downloads Folder, in the Documents Folder, etc.
- Unzip the downloaded file. Depending on your computer, your Operating System and your Preferences, a double-click will normally launch the unZip function.
If you have an Apple Mac computer, the unzip function is usually executed automatically at the end of the download.
If no UnZip application is apparent on your computer, you may download the Stuffit Expander which will do the job admirably.
Stuffit Expander exists for Mac and PC platforms.
