You have to put it in the “resourcepacks” folder located in the .minecraft folder created by Minecraft on installation. This folder is buried within a hidden directory, so to access it the following steps will need to be followed (these steps are for windows 10, steps will most likely vary for any other operating systems): search %appdata% in the search bar (or use windows run, accessed by windows key + r), then go into the .minecraft folder. If you do not see the .minecraft folder, go into a folder called roaming, then you should see the .minecraft folder. Finally, take the .zip from downloads and place it into the resourcepack folder within .minecraft (you do not need to unzip the zip folder). Once the zip folder is placed in the resourcepack folder the resource pack should appear as a selectable option in Minecraft’s texture pack settings. If you plan to update pack frequently I'd recommended pinning the .minecraft folder to quick access so you can bypass searching for %appdata% every time.
