What the ZIP-files contains
* Use as addon:
The ZIP-file is designed as an addon itself. That means, download the ZIP-file to your prefered location and install/import it as an addon in Blender.
* Use as asset library:
If you don't want to have/use the additional functionality which comes with the addon, feel free to extract the ZIP-file and copy the file "on_the_rocks/assets/on_the_rocks.blend" to your prefered asset-library-directory. Keep in mind, that you have to tell Blender in the preferences where this asset-library-directory is located. Then you can use the geometry nodes modifiers, materials, etc. from the asset browser. Everything necessary is marked as an asset.
* Append from file:
If you don't want to use On the Rocks as an addon nor via the asset browser you can also use the file "on_the_rocks/assets/on_the_rocks.blend" and append (3D View -> Append / F4) from it what you need, geometry nodes modifiers, materials, models, presets, etc.
