  1. Download the zip from github: ZIP Master,

  2. extract the zip, and copy the extracted root directory into your local QGIS plugin directory:

    • on Linux: ~/.local/share/QGIS/QGIS3/profiles/default/python/plugins,

    • on Windows: C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\QGIS\QGIS3\profiles\default\\python\plugins

  3. Use git to clone the repository in your plugin directory, or clone it somewhere else and add a symbolic link to it in your plugin directory.

Locating and starting the plugin in the QGIS GUI#

The plugin has its own toolbar (Resource Sharing, with only one action).

You can enable / disable the toolbar in View-> Toolbars, and move it (drag and drop) to a convenient location in the GUI. The plugin can also be started from the Web menu (Web-> Resource Sharing) and a submenu of the Plugins menu (Plugins-> Resource Sharing -> Resource Sharing).
