As indicated in the README.md file, you should either run

make
make install

to install the plugin in your own ~/.gimp-2.8/plug-ins directory, or run

make
sudo make install-admin

to install system-wide. Do not make the plain install target with sudo, since this will place a root-owned version of the plugin into your home directory.
