Check which BlenderBIM Add-on build you are using. The zip will have either
``py39`` or ``py310`` in the name. If you are using a Mac, also make sure
you are using the M1 version if you have a newer Mac. See the instructions
in the :ref:`devs/installation:unstable installation` section to check that
you have installed the correct version.

If you are using a Mac, be sure to use the Mac Silicon version if you have a
newer Mac. The only exception is if you have installed Blender using Steam
on a Mac, in which case you need to use the Mac Intel download.
For all other scenarios, check the BlenderBIM Add-on zip file which you
downloaded. The zip will have either ``py39``, ``py310``, or ``py311`` in
the name. See the instructions in the :ref:`devs/installation:unstable
