# Administrative Installation

[BIM Climate Action Tool (bimCAT) from the Autodesk App Store](/user-manual/installation/tally-climate-action-tool-tallycat.md) always installs under the administrator account on per-machine basis, so no special actions are required.

To install [BIM Climate Action Tool (bimCAT) Community Edition](/user-manual/installation/tally-climate-action-tool-tallycat-community-edition.md) from the command line under the administrator account while also making it accessible to other users on the same machine, please adjust your installation scripts as follows:

```batch
msiexec /i "bimCAT_community_installer.msi" ALLUSERS=1
```

**Note**: `ALLUSERS=1` is the critical element in this command.

**Installation Paths**:

* The `.addin` files will be placed in `C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins\bimCAT.bundle`.
* The plugin binaries will reside in `C:\Program Files\C-Change Labs Inc\bimCAT`.

**User-Specific Data**: For each user who launches Revit, plugin data (such as configuration files, logs, libraries, etc.) will be stored in `C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\C-Change Labs Inc\bimCAT`.

This feature is available starting from version **0.52.1**.

**Caution**: If you had previously installed the plugin in a different manner, kindly uninstall it first via Windows Apps & Features (or 'Installed Apps' on Windows 11).
