Installing OpenFX plugins
 
Hi
Running Ubuntu Mate 18.04.
Recently purchased an OpenFX plugin to use in an application I know works with and is compatible with OpenFX.

However, having no luck installing and getting the plugin recognized by the program.

I tried 2 locations
1 In the application bundle

/home/<username>/<application>/Plugins/OFX/


and 2 in a manually created folder here

/usr/Plugins/OFX/

Neither seems to work.

What is the recommended way to install OpenFX plugins so that they are recognized by more than 1 application?
Is there some type of environment PATH setting that needs setting?

Any feedback appreciated!

Op
Thru trial and error discovered that the application, Natron, is very particular about OpenFX plugin location

Plugin bundles must go here

/home/<username>/Natron2/Plugins/OFX/Natron
