Upload the Code and Libraries to the Circuit Playground Express
After downloading the Project Bundle, plug your Circuit Playground Express into the computer USB port. You should see a new flash drive appear in the computer's File Explorer or Finder (depending on your operating system) called CIRCUITPY. Unzip the folder and copy the following items to the Circuit Playground Express CIRCUITPY drive.
Your Circuit Playground Express CIRCUITPY drive should look like this after copying the lib folder and the code.py file.
