If using pip3 gives you an error, you may need to make sure you have the Python package manager ‘pip’ installed properly. You can now safely use the latest version of PyObjC. That is why we used to recommend downgrading to 8.4 with pip3 install pyobjc=8.4. Perhaps you remember that there were issues with version 8.5 of PyObjC. Usually, you can simply double click the plug-in file, and Glyphs will ask you if you want to install it: ‘Font Remix Tools’), the amazing LetterInk, or Makkuk’s LayerWhale for recording your design process, or one of Mark Frömberg’s many cool plug-ins: they come with their own instructions.

If you find a message that says something like this: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'vanilla' They may give you a clue as to what went wrong.
