# '''INSTALLATION TO THE USER DIRECTORY:''' In "User Preferences" within "File" section is the "Scripts" item where you can set the path to any Addon location.

It is necessary for the Addon folder to be placed inside a folder named "addons_contrib" and Blender needs to be directed to its parent folder. Therefore the resulting path to the folder Addons should look like "/<folder>/addons_contrib/io_scs_tools", but the path under Scripts will be only "/<folder>".
