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!
