Manual Installation (Advanced User)

The Package Manager makes installing a simple process, but if you need to do this manually here's how.

A great place to install these tools is in the maya/script folder, please see the folder structure below to setup your tools in the simplest way. Tools should be installed to a common eblabs_hub folder. The install path should be one folder up from the eblabs_hub folder. Make sure that there are blank __init__.py files within all folders.
