Getting the 4MS modules into VCV for Mac

Hello, apologies if this is the wrong category (I’m not the best @ using forums), but I was trying to get the 4MS modules downloaded onto VCV rack (I use a mac x64 on version 13.6.9). When I dragged the .vcvplugin file into the plug-ins folder and booted it up, it said it wasn’t able to extract the plug-in package. Does anyone have any advice for solving this issue? Thank you all

Did it tell you any error message?

Also, make sure you downloaded the x64 version, not the arm64 version.

If you can send the log.txt that’s in your user folder, that will help diagnose the issue. You can just attach it to the response or paste it in

Hello thank you for your response and help, I have made sure to put the x64 version into my computer but it can’t extract it. I am attaching a screenshot of the error message and the part of the log.txt that address extracting the modules (with my real name being censored in both)

[3.977 info src/plugin.cpp:231 extractPackages] Extracting package /Users/realname/Library/Application Support/Rack2/plugins-mac-x64/4msCompany-2.0.0-v0.20.0-1-mac-x64.vcvplugin

Again thank you so much for your response ! Been rlly hyped up for these new modules n can’t wait to try them ! :smiley:

Do you see the same checksum on the file you downloaded? Run this in a terminal:

md5 4msCompany-2.0.0-v0.20.0-1-mac-x64.vcvplugin

MD5 (4msCompany-2.0.0-v0.20.0-1-mac-x64.vcvplugin) = 8b8ad174b384b42d38ad277a7fb4602f

Yeah, it sounds like the file didn’t download properly.

Also there is a new version:
