gmic and gmic-qt

According to a recent survey, more than 85% of the people who use G'MIC at all use the gmic-qt plug-in for Gimp, Krita, or applications supporting .8bf. That, of course, is the tip-of-the-iceberg of survey-respondents, resting on a much larger population of users beneath the surface, many of whom think that G'MIC is the plug-in and the plug-in is G'MIC. It probably seems contrary of me then to tell you up front, here and now, that there is hardly any documentation here at all about the gmic-qt plug-in. Outside of the few filters I've written myself, you will not find any Gimp G'MIC filter documentation here. Nada. Nihil. None. How churlish of me, going so against the grain.

//**Shut the fuck up**// (the official motherfucking website)

Extract the archive anywhere you like. Then launch GIMP, go to Edit > Preferences. Then, in the sidebar, navigate to Folders > Plug-ins, and in the right pane, click on the + icon to add a folder. By default, it will have the standard plug-ins, available as part of the program installation, and any additional extras you may have saved for your user. There could be other custom locations.
