Trouble Installing PolyHaven Plugin for Maya

[RaphaelRoman]

Hello. I was looking at your PolyHaven plugin for Maya on GitHub. Following the installation, I got everything set up as easily as it was written, but I got a couple of errors when clicking the shelf tool. First, I had errors for PySide2 and shiboken2 not being found. I just changed them in your files to PySide6 and shiboken6. I thought it would be fine afterwards, but I'm now getting this error:

Error: PermissionError: file E:\03 Creative/Animation/DCC/Maya/Plugins/PolyHaven\get_path.py line 35: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'settings.json'

I already made sure the directory was fully accessible, so I'm unsure what to do at this point. My other assumption is that perhaps I just need to work in an earlier version of Maya. I usually work in 2023, but I'm trying out 2025. Do you have any suggestions?

Update: I tried installing it in Maya 2023, reverted the PySide and shiboken imports. I'm stilling getting the same error as above.

which setup steps did you follow and did you just try to run Maya as administrator? the best way and easiest is just to: 1- Unzip the Download release in C:\ for Windows user or ~/ for Mac or Linux user. The final path will be like this C:\PolyHave 2- Drag and drop shelf.py into Maya viewport, now you have Polyhaven shelf in Maya,

I actually made a mistake on the final path. I corrected that, but I'm still having the same error now that I'm in C:/PolyHaven. I re-ran the setup.bat as well just in case. Not sure what to do from here.

i'm pretty sure you are making a small mistake, I tested on Maya 2024 and it works without any issues.

maybe you have a firewall or something blocking the access ? did you try to run Maya as administrator?
