What directory do you start makehuman from? That is the directory of interest. The v1 folder is just for assets and is not the one of interest here. Typically the main installation folder will have blendertools, docs,
makehuman, and maketarget-standalone. From among these, pick the
makehuman subfolder and open it. Within this subfolder, you will find folders like
apps, core, data, etc. One of these will be called
plugins.
This is the one you want.
Dump the mhapi, 8_community assets, and 8_server_socket folders in the plugins folder and restart MakeHuman. Good luck.
Here are (hopefully reproducible) instructions for the steps that I just just used successfully; maybe they will help:
Instructions for using the community plugin:
• Go to
https://github.com/makehumancommunity/community-plugins• On the clone or download button choose “download zip”
• Extract the downloaded zip (I did this on windows so not sure how well it works on the Linux side). Perhaps it is better to use git on the Linux side.
• Navigate into the folder [./community-plugins-master/community-plugins-master/makehuman/] and observe three folders: mhapi, 8_community assets, and 8_server_socet
• Copy all three folders and their contents to the plugins folder in ~/bin/makehuman/makehuman/plugins/ (Linux) or C:/makehuman/makehuman/plugins/ (or maybe c:/program files/makehuman/makehuman/plugins) on Windows.
Note: This is the location of your installation
NOT your assets
• Restart MakeHuman and go to the Community tab
• Click synchronize in the right panel
• Select an asset in the left panel
• Click Download
