FAQ:I can't download from the user repos, all files are saved as HTML

This is a problem with your web browser (probably Internet Explorer or Edge), which makes assumptions about file extensions.

Quick fix

The quick fix is to use a different web browser (Chrome and Firefox are known to not show this bug). With these browsers, things will most likely save automatically in the correct way. If not, at least chrome has a checkbox in the save-as dialog to force the correct extension.

More ideal solution

Alternatively, there is a more ideal solution: Install the plugin for downloading assets from within makehuman instead.

• Go to https://github.com/makehumancommunity/community-plugins
• Download the repo as a zip file
• In the zip file find the directory "makehuman"
• Copy everything in there to the "plugins" directory under where you installed makehuman

You will then get a "community" tab with a GUI for downloading assets.
