[https://lightship.dev/account/downloads/artifacts/ardk-getting-started-1.1.0.tar.gz](https://lightship.dev/account/downloads/artifacts/ardk-getting-started-1.1.0.tar.gz)

contains a 160k file and nothing else.

Should there be a unity project in here?

Hi Mike, I am assuming you are attempting to open the zip file on Winrars? On Mac it automatically unzips to a folder containing examples of the ARDK component you can explore. In your case, you may have to unzip the .tar file in Winrar again or some other extracting app to extract the folder named “ARDK-Getting-Started”.
