MetaHuman character does not show under MetaHuman

I recently set up Unreal engine 5.6. I already installed the metahuman core data and enabled the metahuman creator plugin. but when i navigate to content browser 2 > character folder and right click then Add/Import content > MetaHuman, it does not show metahuman character as it is shown in this set up guide Creating a Character | MetaHuman Documentation | Epic Developer Community

please how do i resolve this, thanks. also i have restarted unreal engine several times.

Hey @Warithl! Welcome to the forums!

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the Metahuman Plugin is not fully supported on MacOS. :frowning: You can do something like rent a virtual machine on the cloud to use it, or if your Mac is really strong you could use a virtual machine on your Mac.

Sorry about that. :frowning: Hope that lets you know your path moving forward! :slight_smile:

thank you for your response. i have tried to set it up on windows but i could not even install the epic games installer . below is the error

“The Epic games launcher setup wizard ended prematurely”
i am on windows 11, i have installed .NET framework and VCode c++

still no luck

Did you have any previous installations from before? Make sure it’s completely uninstalled, if so!

Otherwise… It may be as simple as trying “Run As Administrator” because it does need admin access. :slight_smile: Give that a try and let us know!

Make sure you’ve also downloaded the MetaHuman skeleton and related assets through Quixel Bridge. Sometimes the character won’t appear if the full MetaHuman content isn’t synced properly. Also, double-check if the plugin is enabled in the specific project, not just globally.

thank you for your response. this is my first time installing so no previous installations. the file downloaded on this page https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/download is a .msi extension, when i right clicked it, it does not show run as an administrator like a .exe file would have

thanks for your response, yes i have, but on Macbook the create metahuman character does not appear

Oh, I didn’t realize it would be .msi :frowning:

Have you tried downloading it from the Microsoft store instead?

thank you, I was able to install via Microsoft store, but sadly my windows PC does not meet the system requirements so I will have to wait till the issue with metahuman creator on MacBook is resolved.
