Prepare the design template in the Quartus Prime software GUI

Note: After downloading the design example, you must prepare the design template. The file you downloaded is of the form of a <project>.par file which contains a compressed version of your design files (similar to a .qar file) and metadata describing the project. The combination of this information is what constitutes a <project>.par file. You can simply double click on the <project>.par file and Quartus will launch that project.
