Missing resources/profiles in Alpha3 download

Just downloaded 2.4 Alpha 3 but it didn't appear to have resources in the zip file - getting a missing resource error per attached.  I didn't see anything in the github notes so wonder if I missed a step?

Odd.  I am not experiencing this error with my Mac.  Is anyone getting this on a PC?

Run the Configuration wizard to get Prusa supplied profiles. Export config bundle with physical printers from current release and import it into Alpha.

Topic starter answered:
how to export?

Is there a specific command to export the profiles, or can I just copy the subdirectly from the alpha branch to this one?

Config bundle will back up all of your custom presets

If you export a config bundle (File->Export->Export config bundle) it will contain all of your custom (non-system) presets. You can then import that file. Note that importing into a newer version of PrusaSlicer usually works well, but newer config bundles may contain settings that aren't supported in earlier versions.

Towlerg  mentioned it already, file>export>config bundle with physical printers 

Then file>import>config bundle in the version you are using. 

Not sure if that will fix your problem though as when you start the software for the first time it should run through the wizard if there’s no profiles. Also I’m not sure how you are installing it as the alphas/betas are just a zip file, you unzip to a folder location of your choice and then just run the exe file each time to start it. There is no installer. If you are just browsing into the zip file no running the exe then that might cause the missing resources as the zip needs extracting before they can be accessed by the software.
