Put python scripts in MakeHuman for Mac

[FilippoQ]

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to apply a plugin that estimates volume, surface and weight of the avatars (with no real success).

Now I have to work on a Mac too. How can I write the scripts and apply them?

Mac doesn't have a MH folder with plugin folder like Windows, but Mac version of MH has a lot of tabs under "Utilities".
So how I proceed?

This might be a somewhat uninformed answer since I never used MH on a mac, but:

If you are doing development, you will most likely benefit from downloading MH from source instead of downloading as a binary package. What you will need to do is install the dependencies (python, pyopengl, pyqt, numpy) and then download the MH source from https://bitbucket.org/MakeHuman/makehuman

With this approach you will have everything you need in one folder in your user home drive and can simply put your new plugin inside the "plugins" directory. And/or read and edit the MH source code or the other plugins.

If you are doing development, does not matter if it's adding a plugin or modifying the application core, don't download builds, but start from the source code.
There is a page about this in the documentation, detailing the libraries you need to install.

However, on OSX this is a little trickier. The build script, and instructions how we build MH for OSX can be found here: https://bitbucket.org/MakeHuman/makehuman-osx-builder

It's tricky indeed! XD

Thank you very much guys. I'll concentrate on the script first, then i'll try to enter it.
