How to install OpenUSD via NVIDIA Omniverse? Needed for making custom assets (or combining custom assets)

[meghbhalerao]

I download the zip file here https://developer.nvidia.com/downloads/USD/usd_binaries/24.08/usd.py310.manylinux_2_35_x86_64.usdview.release@0.24.08-gl.7245+v24.08.59992d21.zip as mentioned on this page https://developer.nvidia.com/usd#section-getting-started

I download the zip file for linux and unzip it (I am using ubuntu 24) - but there are no instructions on how to proceed after unzipping the zip files? Could someone help me with this?
After unzipping I get the following files in the unzipped dir -

bin                pip-packages
BUILD_INFO         plugin
CHANGELOG.md       pxrConfig.cmake
cmake              python
include            README.md
launcher.toml      resources
lib                scripts
libraries          share
LICENSE            tests
PACKAGE-DEPS.yaml  THIRD-PARTY.md
PACKAGE-INFO.yaml  usd.py310.manylinux_2_35_x86_64.usdview.release@0.24.08-gl.7245+v24.08.59992d21.zip
PACKAGE-LICENSES

It would be great to get some help on how to proceed after this point! Or if someone could point me to the right forum to get this question answered.
My machine specifications are the following -

 Static hostname: unhelkar-lab-megh
Operating System: Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS              
          Kernel: Linux 6.8.0-45-generic
    Architecture: x86-64

Thanks!

Edit - Issue is solved. I downloaded and installed openusd from their github page https://github.com/PixarAnimationStudios/OpenUSD and set the appropriate environment variables as mentioned here https://openusd.org/release/tut_usd_tutorials.html and usdview and usdcat seems to be working.

However, it would be great to have additional instructions on how to proceed after downloading and unzippng file which contains the precompiled binaries and system and system and python requirements that allow the precompiled binaries to run.
