IMPORTANT: mGear is using Pymel. In Maya 2022 and 2023 Pymel is an optional package. Be sure to install it when you install Maya 2022/2023
For Maya 2024 Pymel needs to be installed using pip. Please follow the official instructions here: https://help.autodesk.com/view/MAYAUL/2024/ENU/?guid=GUID-2AA5EFCE-53B1-46A0-8E43-4CD0B2C72FB4

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/
