  1. the Syntax link is broken. It takes me to the page to click to download, but the link to download the file kicks up a page in gibberish that lists it should be a .rar file.

  2. Hi Igor,

    The link works fine for me in Chrome. Perhaps try right click “save link as” in your browser.
    I’ll email you a copy of the file now too just in case.

    Regards,
    Andrew

  3. Hello, these instructions are out of date. Step 5 cannot be completed, can you review and update?
