Contrary to popular opinion it is not all that difficult to run MakeHuman directly from source. Doing so has the following benefits:
- You get full access to all assets (i.e. you are not restricted to only compiled/processed/compressed versions)
- You can "update" the MakeHuman directory and thereby download only the latest changes instead of having to download and unzip a big binary each time a change has been made. (This requires the usage of Mercurial)
