This is not an Issue, This is a fix to one or more known issues. #303

With Installation, I had the same issue as many before me. I downloaded the zip file and tried to install it. That failed.

I copied the folder to the Blender folder. That failed.

Then I tried just zipping the "mmd_tools" folder ALONE. I was able to install that zip file into Blender 2.83 and enable the add on.

I just figured you'd like to know about that solution, since you have a lot of known installation issues. I think that's the problem, is that people are installing the entire "blender_mmd_tools_dev_test.zip" file instead of extracting it, zipping "mmd_tools" folder by itself, and installing "mmd_tools.zip".

Doing this may fix #280, #282, #283, #286, and #292

NVM it has to reside in the default scripts directory. It cannot be installed to the personal scripts folder.

i have 2.9 it think .1 . I did most of your steps but left the zip file on the desktop and installed from there and that worked. Thanks for the tips <3

So basically, extract mmd-tools from the first zip, zip mmd-tools into a new file, then install the new file in blender?

sounds easy enough.
