Distributing single-file plug-ins

Maya plug-ins that consist of a single file and are intended for your own individual use or for use within your organization can be distributed by placing the files in a shared directory pointed at by the MAYA_PLUG_IN_PATH in users' Maya.env files.

You can add several directories to MAYA_PLUG_IN_PATH. Each directory must be separated by a semicolon (;) on Windows or by a colon (:) on macOS and Linux.

See Setting up your build environment for information on setting up the plug-in, icon, and script directories.
