Installing the tutorial courseware files

Each tutorial in this book is based on an Alias wire file, which contains the material you need to learn the tools, skills, and concepts in the tutorial. These files are required to complete the Learning Alias and Technical Surfacing tutorials.

When you install Alias, the courseware files (Alias wire files and other support files) are not automatically installed. You must install them manually.
