# Checking out and unpack (User)

This chapter is typically the part of the users which now need the PlantTools configuration files in the local Vault project to have PlantTools setup correctly.

To have a complete documentation we assume, that the project hasn't been opened on a machine before. So the user used "Open From Vault" to open the Vault project.
