Blender 2.80 beta

[Yash2009]

Can anyone tell me how to install blender 2.80(beta)I know there are many new versions its just I have never used it before…
I would really appreciate it if there is an answer

Just use the portable versions, they do not use any installer just unzip and go.

Though I can see little to gain using 2.8 let alone a beta for it. This was the cusp of a huge change from 2.7 and lots more got changed soon after the initial release.

As NP5 explained, you can run multiple versions of Blender on your machine.
I would go for a later version (2.83 more stable) or go for the latest 2.93.
If you get in trouble, to much UI changes in menu and hotkeys. Place a message here.
