Addon Will not install from Zip file

[JoelGodin]

I spent about 3 hours on this. The addon will not install for me on osx with the zip file. Finally I just loaded keymesh-addon-main.py in my addons folder, and installed in blender navigating straight to that .py file. Something about the structure of the .zip file is not allowing it to show up in 'addons' in blender user prefs.

Blender addons in ZIP format should usually either contain a single PY file of the addon, or if there are multiple files, it should have an __init__.py file to Intitialize the Addon. That's the problem here. We will have to create a release everytime with just the keymesh.py file to circumvent this.

I have created a release in my updated version of the addon. https://github.com/AldrinMathew/keymesh-addon/releases/tag/0.1.1-alpha

Thanks! Loading the .py file directly did the trick for me as well. installing from .zip did not work
