Should I Get the Legacy Variant or the Extension Variant?
Starting in Blender 4.2, extensions are the new way of doing add-ons and themes. Legacy add-ons are considered deprecated but continue to be supported.
See here: https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/4.2/advanced/extensions/addons.html#legacy-vs-extension-add-ons
CG Meerkat’s add-ons’ features do not differ between their legacy and extension variants.
Extension Installation
To install extensions, go to Preferences, click “Get Extensions” in the sidebar, click the “Install from Disk” item in the dropdown menu at the top right, and select the add-on’s .zip file.
Or drag-and-drop an extension .zip package into Blender.
Legacy Add-on Installation
To install legacy add-ons, go to Preferences, click “Add-ons” in the sidebar, click the “Install from Disk” item in the dropdown menu at the top right, and select the add-on’s .zip file.
