- Launch Blender, and access the
Edit -> Preferences
window. - Select the
Add-ons
tab, and pressInstall...
on the top right. - Navigate to the BlenderBIM Add-on
.zip
file, and pressInstall Add-on

All done! If you check your Scene properties
panel on the bottom right of the Blender interface, you will see a panel related to Building Information Modeling.
