### Installing the Archicad app

The Archicad app can be installed on a per-device basis.

****Windows:****  
[Download the buildagil Archicad 27 app for Windows](https://downloads.buildagil.com/apps/cad/buildagil Archicad 27 App Windows.zip)  
[Download the buildagil Archicad 28 app for Windows](https://downloads.buildagil.com/apps/cad/buildagil Archicad 28 App Windows.zip)  
[Download the buildagil Archicad 29 app for Windows](https://downloads.buildagil.com/apps/cad/buildagil Archicad 29 App Windows.zip)

When you download the file, a ZIP file will be downloaded that must be extracted. For Windows, the ZIP file contains an ".apx" file. It is recommended that you save this file to the Archicad Add-Ons folder. Example path:

`` `C:\Program Files\Graphisoft\Archicad 28\Add-Ons` ``

****Mac:****  
[Download the buildagil Archicad 28 app for Mac](https://downloads.buildagil.com/apps/cad/buildagil Archicad 28 App Mac.zip)  
[Download the buildagil Archicad 29 app for Mac](https://downloads.buildagil.com/apps/cad/buildagil Archicad 29 App Mac.zip)

When you download the file, a ZIP file will be downloaded that needs to be extracted. For Mac, the ZIP file contains a ".bundle" file. It is recommended that you save this file to the Archicad Add-Ons folder. Example path:

`` `/Applications/Graphisoft/Archicad 28/Add-Ons` ``

In Archicad, you can then open the Add-On Manager from the "Tools" menu.

Here, you must enable the "Use designated add-on directory" option so that the file is loaded correctly from the folder.
