Hello,

I have downloaded and installed ngskintools to check if everything is right
The installation was successful and I can see the plugin checkbox in the plugin manager.
There is a readme note to read about installation though, I suggest you read it.
If you had previous versions of the plugin you need to completely uninstall it and remove all previous data.
Check if all the scripts and the main plugin are correctly set in the installation folder ( C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins\ngskintools )
The program data folder is hidden by default so you need to tell explorer to show the hidden folders.
If everything is fine but still not working, try to force Maya to read those folders via environment Variable.
So first Close Maya (important).
open the file C:\Users\yourName\Documents\maya\2018\Maya.env with the notepad,
add those two lines to it:
MAYA_PLUG_IN_PATH = ngskintools\Contents\plug-ins\windows-maya2018-64bit
PYTHONPATH = ngskintools\Contents\scripts
save and close.
Start Maya and check the plugin.
If it works, you still need to create a shelf button to execute the script
so open the script editor with a python tab, paste the following code to it, and drag it up to the shelf to create a python button.
from ngSkinTools.ui.mainwindow import MainWindow; MainWindow.open()

Let me know if it worked out.
