Normally, in the installer zip there is a install.mel or The_name.mel in the same root of the version. You have to decompress the zip/rar/etc... Simply, drag&drop it on the Maya screen.
Others, you must manually copy to C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME\Documents\maya\plug-ins, or C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME\Documents\maya\scripts. If there are any folders/files with a .mod extension, they go to C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME\Documents\maya\modules.
They usually have a .txt with the installation instructions.
Then, already in Maya, you must activate them from the menu Windows/Settings-Preferences/Plugin manager.
If you have different versions, in C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME\Documents\maya there will be other folders like 2020 or 2023. Open the version folder, and you will find the plugins folders. scripts and modules. Do the same for each version.Those points are not needed for a simple answer. 😀
