Error Installing at Paketmanager

Dear Forum,

After trying for 1 h, I have no clue on how I can click on the install button in the Packetmanager. I tried to click fast, turning the computer/software off… For reference I have Rhino 8 for Mac and it is not possible to alter the Window in any way.

If anyone has any suggestion I appreciate youre help.

Thea

Hello and welcome to the forums @ttkas_TT!

That sure is an odd bug.

As a work-around you can install Yak Packages via the yak CLI, It’s a bit geeky, but it’ll work. Make sure to close Rhino first.

If you open terminal and copy, paste and run the below line, it’ll install the package for you

'/Applications/Rhino 8.app/Contents/Resources/bin/yak' install FreeJewels

As for your bug, we usually ticket bugs on YouTrack. I’ve created a ticket for you here. When this bug is fixed and a new version with the fix is released, this thread will be updated.

If you could run the SystemInfo command and include the results here I’ll add that to the ticket and it’ll help us fix it.

Hi Thea -

This bug was on our list as RH-89655 PackageManager install dialog not showing buttons on Mac
A public version of Rhino 8 with a fix for this issue should become available on October 14th. The current public version of the Rhino 9 WIP already contains that fix.
