Add Simscape-M​ultibody-C​ontact-For​ces-Librar​y

For the Matlab 2020b, I have to add a new library to use appropriately a simulink scheme (Simscape Multibody structure) which requires some functions contained in Contact Force Library. I used these links: https://github.com/mathworks/Simscape-Multibody-Contact-Forces-Library and https://github.com/mathworks/Simscape-Multibody-Contact-Forces-Library/releases/tag/20.2.5.0 (for the 2020b version) to download the library, but i wasn't able to add that one, even reading the README.md.

Can anyone explain me by describing step-by-step the solution to add or reference some new libraries, please?

Thanks, best regards

Thanks for the answer!

In the end I used another easier solution: I saved the .zip file into the local folder which also contains the main project (but I think any folder is fine using global path); then, I unzipped the file and I added the CFL_Core folder path to the other paths using Matlab Settings; restart Matlab. It worked!
