the installed don’t use pymel, but you need pymel to launch mGear after is installed
so is there a way to check if it’s installed? Since the menu isn’t showing up.
Any ideas on what I could do to make it appear?
And its also not showing in the output window as it did in 2020 ;/
import pymel.core
If that returns an error, it’s not installed.
Error: ModuleNotFoundError: file line 1: No module named ‘pymel’
but when i use install ISO i have no option to pick it up.
Is there a manual way to install it? and if, could you plz give me some advice on how to do it properly?
I was having the same problem of the menu not showing up even though pymel was installed.
I just ran the mgear user setup in the script editor and it appeared.
Yes there is no longer an option to install Pymel in Maya. You have to do it manually. You can download Pymel here. Release 1.4.0b1 · LumaPictures/pymel · GitHub
And installation instructions are inside that package in a file called install.rst
/pymel-1.4.0b1/docs/source/install.rst

Thanks a lot to everybody ;D
im at step 3. where i need to run setup.py but there is no such file:
i have only setup.cfg
Could it be that pymel is installed but the fact that i block all connections for maya via firewall that it isn’t working?
When starting the setup i saw this little message.
When I try to run the “user setup” it tells me the Pymel module is missing
Error: ModuleNotFoundError: file line 3: No module named ‘pymel’
Sorry my advice was for Maya 2024, where you now have to install Pymel manually. I have no idea why it isn’t installed for you in 2023.
That message in the installer means you would need an internet connection to use “pip” to download and installed Pymel.
Don’t follow my advice blindly. I haven’t even tried this yet. I’m still using Maya 2020 and 2022. 
I reinstalled Maya and now i don’t get the error for missing Pymel anymore. But:
A line 217 error no ;( any ideas`?
I also tried setting it up manually by using userSetup.py but im getting the same error
Have you tried to see if it was successful? Maybe mGear is installed already.
If that “Installation Complete” message ran, then it seems like the drag_n-drop_install.py script ran successfully. That’s the last line in that function.
The error might be from del myTempEDPF which is… what? Maya’s wrapper for dragging Python files?
(Just guessing. I install mGear through Maya.env.)
Try restarting Maya and maybe mGear is installed.
- See if you get any mGear errors when you start Maya.
- Check if it shows up in the menu.
- Try running
import mgearand see if you get an error. (If you don’t get an error, then it is installed, but you are still experiencing the missing menu problem.)
No error no menu
this error when running import mgear
sry i found this same error from befor when starting maya
// Error: RuntimeError: file C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2023\Python\lib\site-packages\pymel\internal\pmcmds.py line 217: deleteUI: Object ‘mGear’ not found.
here the full log in a .txt file . i placed it on google drive
I deleted everything and dragged the py again and now i didn’t get the import mgear error but still missing the menu.
plugin was also active already not like last time where i had to active it manually but still got the line217 error.
Oh I see. I searched that error. It’s discussed in this thread: Mgear Don"t show up - #6 by Miquel
Miquel said there is a fix, but it isn’t in the latest release yet. You would have to get the latest code directly from Github.
It looks like you accidentally put a space before the command.
so I get 4.0.19 from here?
Finally!
After installation, I had to run userSetup.py and then it appeared ;D
GG boys!
If anybody have this problem, try this method, its work for me:
In script editor type these two lines:
from mgear import synoptic
synoptic.open()
if the picker shows up, you can grab and put the 2 line to your custom shelf, and it will work.
Sorry for my bad english 
Ok I thought the problem was fixed but it was only temporary.
Every time i open Maya i have to repeatedly drag and drop the useeSetup.py to make the menu appear.
running
from mgear import synoptic
synoptic.open()
started the picker but it didn’t work. only after using useeSetup.py the full functionality of the tool was available again.
Sorry I don’t know how to help you. What “userSetup.py” are you referring to? Where is this file from?
The one .py script that gets extracted to the folder: Documents\maya\modules\scripts
This morning dragging it in didn’t work so I pulled it into the editor and ran it that way and it worked …
It told me following error at first
