mGear 4.0.3
IMPORTANT: mGear is using Pymel. In Maya 2022 Pymel is an optional package. Be sure to install it when you install Maya 2022
IMPORTANT NOTE: MacOS Catalina and later has heightened security restrictions on apps and plugins. Run this command in the Terminal, which removes the “quarantine” flag from when it gets downloaded:
sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /PATH/TO/THE/MGEAR/SOLVERS/DIRECTORY/
