{: .notice--info}
When copying files to the SD card, it is important to copy them to the right location - otherwise, the console will not detect the file and the exploit or software you are trying to use will not work. A term you will see frequently on this guide is **root of the SD card**, which means you are not inside any folder on your SD card. The directory that appears when you first open your SD card on your computer is called the 'root'.
You may also see folder names indicated like this: `/folder/`. The slashes are used to indicate directories and are not part of the name of the folder. For example, `/folder1/folder2/` would refer to `folder2` inside of `folder1`:
![]({{ "/images/screenshots/onboarding/folders.png" | absolute_url }})
{: .notice--info}
**Angle brackets** (\< and \>) are also occasionally used to refer to system-specific identifiers. For example, if the guide says `<ID0>`, it is referring to the system-specific identifier inside of the `Nintendo 3DS` folder, rather than a folder literally named "ID0":
![]({{ "/images/screenshots/onboarding/anglebrackets.png" | absolute_url }})

In this guide, you will copy files that are downloaded on your computer/phone to your 3DS SD card. Many of these files come from GitHub, so refer to the above screenshot if you're unfamiliar with how to download files from there. In this guide, you will copy files that are downloaded on your computer/phone to your console's SD card. Many of these files come from GitHub, which is a website used by developers to publish their open-source releases. When downloading files from GitHub, you should download the file that *isn't* source code.
