Connect to the Crestron Home processor over FTP or by using the File Manager tool in Crestron Toolbox.
Upload the Crestron Driver package file into the Crestron Home processor's \User\ThirdPartyDrivers\Import directory.

Side-Load Using the Device Learner Tool (IR Devices Only)

Open the Device Learner tool in Crestron Toolbox™ software.
Go to File > Send PKG to Device.
