* Backup your previous configuration (if any exists)

### Archive Installation
* On the home/landing page for the project find the blue "<> CODE" button click it and select Local > Download ZIP.

`~/.config/nvim` (Linux)
`~/.config/nvim` (MacOS)
`%userprofile%\AppData\Local\nvim\` (Windows)
* Ensure your extraction method did not extract with a parent folder. For example in ~/.config/nvim you should have init.lua not another folder called kickstart.nvim.

`~/.config/nvim` (Linux)
`~/.config/nvim` (MacOS)
