CEP Panel development, where to put CEP panel folders?

I've downloaded a CEP panel sample from Adobe's repo  and according to the docs here I've put the sample AfterEffectsPanel folder in

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\CEP\extensions

and I tried in:

%Appdata%\Roaming\Adobe\CEP\extensions

But it's not showing up in the list of extensions in AE. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

I found the problem. The sample files that Adobe has on their github are all really old, because Adobe. So the max version number in the manifest.xml files were set to 15.9 or something. I changed it to 99.9 and the sample extensions are now visible.

Did you enable debug mode? Without debug mode only signed extensions will show up.

Dang, I was hoping that would do it, but by the looks of it debug mode is already on.
