A import dialog will appear. It is important to select items present in the package and then import.

Navigate to Assets/Scenes/SampleScene and open the example_cube.unity scene.

The scene should open and contain the objects below. There will be a Camera Rig a Colored Cube, a GameObject and a Directional Light.
