CCS/CC3220S-LAUNCHXL: AmazonFreeRTOS vs amazon-freertos and what do I set FREERTOS_INSTALL_DIR to point to?

Hi!
I bought the CC3220S Launch-XL launchpad and ran the Uniflash update per instructions.  The app works as documented.  I have to use Amazon FreeRTOS per my customer.  So, I used the Resource Explorer and downloaded the SimpleLink CC32xx SDK v 3.30.00.4 and the SimpleLink CC32XX SDK AWS IoT Plugin - v: 2.20.00.02. 
Initially following the instructions in the aws_cc32xx_2_20_00_02/docs directory, I tried the examples using the tirtos_ccs projects as shown.  These worked fine.  But, I needed to use the Amazon FreeRTOS.  So, I have a directory called AmazonFreeRTOS and a directory called amazon-freertos (from git) and a directory called aws_cc32xx_2_20_00_02. 
The instructions say:  For Variable name, enter FREERTOS_INSTALL_DIR; For Type, select directory; For Value, enter the installation directory of FreeRTOS.  There in lies the rub.  Under the any of the directories there is no specific directory called FreeRTOS for TI. 
I have been fumbling about trying to build the aws_demos project located at C:\ti\amazon-freertos\projects\ti\cc3220_launchpad\ccs\aws_demos.  However, it complains about not being able to find the correct prefix to the paths.  "Invalid project path: Include path not found (C:\demos\include). aws_demos pathentry Path Entry Problem"
I've been fiddling with various parameters for FREERTOS_INSTALL_DIR and at one point had a prefix of FreeRTOS to the path but no luck on the build.  Being a noob I thought I would reach out to the group for some advice.
