+If you want to try one of the examples you need to first download some data files.

+The files are stored on GitHub in the [MIKE IO repo](https:github.com/DHI/mikeio).

+The easiest way is to the download the repo as a [zip file](https://github.com/DHI/mikeio/archive/main.zip) and extract the files you need.
+
+
+In the zip file you find the files in `tests/testdata/` folder
