Background:
I'm new to Rigbox and am having issues setting up dat.paths with a shared folder (Where I'll be using both a MC and a SC) due to the setup instructions not adequately describing the Rigbox folders and files which are present after fresh installation of Rigbox software/ my confusion about this.
Problem 1:
https://cortex-lab.github.io/Rigbox/paths_config.html
On step 2 for "sharing folder in Windows", it is suggested to copy everything from inside Github\Rigbox\Repositories\data folder to the newly made LocalExpData folder. On freshly installing Rigbox by following the installation instructions, I do not have a folder in Github\Rigbox which is called Repositories, so I'm not sure what is required to be moved to the LocalExpData folder. Same for code and LocalExpCode folder.

What I need help with 1:
Where do I get the Github\Rigbox\Repositories\data folder from as this is not present after running all prior indicated installation steps as per the instructions given on extended github instruction page. Please can you update the instructions to include this step for new users who do not yet have a server setup.
Problem 2:
When I skip ahead to instruction 8-9, where it is suggested to change specific lines of the code in dat.paths, I cannot do this, as the lines indicated do not contain the text which is required to be changed, and I may be being dim, but I cannot intuitively reason which lines would need changing given the instructions and information I have about the dat.paths file.

What I need help with 2:
Which lines need changing and with what in the dat.paths file for the main repository files to be accessible by both SC and MC? Please can you update the setup dat.paths instructions to reflect this?
