Hello, I recently installed Rhino 6 on a mid 2012 13" macbook pro running catalina. Rhino is working fine but grasshopper is missing from the tools menu. The grasshopper files icns are present in the resources folder…
Not sure why this is happening. Any ideas?
Hi - what happens when you run the Grasshopper command?
Please also run the Rhino SystemInfo command and copy-paste the result here.
-wim
Thanks for the quick reply.
When I run Grasshopper i get: Unknown command: Grasshopper
Here is the system info:

Hi - did this start happening after a while or has it been like that since you installed Rhino?
Is Grasshopper present in the list when you run the PluginManager command? If so, is it loaded/enabled?
-wim
Just installed few days ago. Basically first use today. Grasshopper is not present in the Plugin manager
Hi - I haven’t run into that one yet…
Could you download and install again to see if that changes anything?
-wim
I tried reinstalling. Maybe I should delete the app and install again?
It wouldn’t hurt trying that.
-wim
Redownloaded the file and installed after deleting previous installation. Grasshopper is still missing.
Do you think i need to clear preferences and such?
Also should there be a Grasshopper rhp file in the plugins folder?
There should be a GrasshopperPlugin.rhp file in the ../Resources/ManagedPlugIns/ folder, yes.
Did you previously run Rhino 5 on that machine or is this the very first time that Rhino gets installed?
Clearing preference also doesn’t hurt to try but unless there’s something left behind from earlier attempts, that probably doesn’t help all that much.
-wim
It’s my girlfriends laptop. Clean install after SSD upgrade.
Now I checked the installation on my mac also doesn’t have the file GrasshopperPlugin.rhp but it works. In fact no ManagedPlugIns folder at all.
That’s probably got something to do with the way I “install” Rhino on a Mac.
At any rate, I’ll ask around if anyone has any bright ideas about this one.
-wim
Thanks a lot. Appreciated!
I now tried copying the app from my laptop, where it is working to her laptop, but it didn’t help still.
Hi again - this might have something to do with licensing. Plug-ins such as Grasshopper don’t run on installations of Rhino that have either expired or have not been validated. Have you gone through the complete validation process?
(As for that “ManagedPlugIns” folder - I’m told that MacOS will hide this folder from you and that the Finder app won’t find it…)
-wim
Ah that was it! I redid the validation and now it’s working!
