Any advice for how to get this plugin? I can add other plugins but this one gives the error “Failed to clone repository from [https://github.com/schriftgestalt/word-o-mat](https://github.com/schriftgestalt/word-o-mat)…”

Maybe some plugins are not working for me due to this error:

 ![image](https://forum.glyphsapp.com/uploads/default/original/3X/9/8/983a37d21bcf05ddac28fd8afd0fe69660219923.png) I don’t know how to use terminal, I did try pasting in the suggested code but no luck. I am running the python module and it’s set to 3.10.0.

Anyone know what I should do to get plugins working again? TY!

Instead of using the Terminal, open the Plugin Manger (_Window_ → _Plugin Manager_), switch to the _Modules_ section and install Python. Once Python is downloaded, relaunch Glyphs to complete the installation. Now go to the Addons preferences (_Glyphs_ → _Preferences…_ → _Addons_ and select the Python version ending in “(Glyphs)”. Relaunch Glyphs again for the new Python version to be used.
