Install and update
Download the addon
On the platform, open the help menu (question mark icon) and choose Download Blender Addon. The version number is shown next to it. You get a zip file; you don't need to unpack it.
Install it in Blender
The addon now appears among your installed extensions as colormass Platform Interface.
Allow online access
The addon connects to the colormass platform over the internet, so Blender has to be allowed to go online. Make sure Edit ▸ Preferences ▸ System ▸ Network ▸ Allow Online Access is turned on.
Find the addon in Blender
Once installed, the addon shows its status at the bottom right of Blender's status bar: your name when you're logged in, and the texture size you work with. Click it to log in and to change your settings. See Getting started.
Update the addon
When a new version is available, a red Install colormass [Version] button appears in the status bar, next to the colormass entry. Click it to download and install the new version. Blender shows the download's progress in the status bar, installs the update and tells you when the new version is running. You don't need to restart Blender.
The same offer appears at the top of the colormass popup, which opens when you click the colormass entry in the status bar.
You can also install an update by hand: download the new zip from the platform and install it again with Install from Disk…. It replaces the installed version.
