Hello. For some reason, I have been having issues updating python on one of my computers. This is preventing me from using plugins. I continue getting this error

 ![Screen Shot 2022-07-05 at 7.39.55 PM](https://forum.glyphsapp.com/uploads/default/original/3X/0/a/0a386526496ac85abe7d51482aa2db0cf3436101.png)

I was able to install py3 through the terminal, and at the end it said something about “upgrading pip” to its latest version. But then the command it suggest doesn’t work (–upgrade pip). It says command not found.

I have no idea what I am doing, just trying to be able to use Plugins.

I’m on a 2.9 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 iOS using Glyphs 3.

> 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.

There is a bug in pyobjc. You need to install an older version like this:

```auto
pip3 install pyobjc==8.4

```
