Help Installing Grasshopper plugin gha file (ShapeMap)

I’m having trouble getting the ShapeMap plugin installed in Grasshopper. I’ve gone to Special Folders/Components Folder and copied the gha file and the dll files there (maybe they should be in a sub folder?).

I close Rhino and reopen and then open grasshopper, but the ShapeMap tab isn’t there. Anyone know how I can get this plugin installed?

Thank you,
Sam

You can install it with PakageManager.
Folder:
C:\Users\(name)\AppData\Roaming\McNeel\Rhinoceros\packages\8.0\ShapeMap\1.0.4\ShapeMap1.0.gha

Okay, I see it now. I installed it in the package manager and restarted rhino, but got the following errors in the command prompt when starting grasshopper (and no tab for ShapeMap…)

Suggestions?

Could you run the SystemInfo in the command line of Rhino 8 and post all popup content here ? Thanks.

Thanks for your information. Please run the command SetDotNetRuntime in the command line of Rhino, and set Runtime = NET Core NetCoreVersion=v7
SetDotNetRuntime

That did it, thanks!
