How to install UserHelp

I'm totally baffled about how to install the parent add-on, UserHelp of YuK. And in particular, how to get Mathematica to recognize the documentation pages for UserHelp, e.g., how to get Wolfram Documentation's list of installed add-ons to include UserHelp.

Can anybody help here?

I note that UserHelp comes inside a folder mma_userhelp which in turn contains a readme.txt that explains that the add-on does not have to be placed in any particular location and that the install.nb notebook there takes care of this. But I do not understand how to get the packages, and their documentation, into ~/Library/Mathematica/Applications.

Original post

I find in my ~/Library/Mathematica/Autoload folder (macOS) a subfolder named YuK. That subfolder, in turn, has a subfolder Kernel with the following init.m:

 Get["/Users/myaccount/Downloads/userhelp-master/mma_userhelp/YuK/Kernel/Init.m"]

Evidently that was installed automatically from some add-on that was packaged either in the conventional way, to go into ~/Library/Mathematica/Applications or, more likely, in a paclet.

What add-on is this and what is its source?

(I've searched for "userhelp" and "YuK" elsewhere in ~/Library/Mathematica but have not found anything. And there's nothing called "YuK" at http://packagedata.net/index.php.

    "or, more likely, in a paclet" I just wanted to point out that packages distributed as paclets don't really have any reason to do things like this, as most things that could be achieved through such means (e.g. installation or automatic loading) are already supported by the paclet manager. – Szabolcs May 25 '18 at 21:08
