I can’t get the Avogenerators, or any other plugin, to show up in Avogadro. I can see the plugin in /Users/me/Library/Application Support/OpenChemistry. I am not sure of the correct path to set for python but believe it to be /usr/bin/. I wonder if the issue is that I am still on Mojave with python 2.7?

Thanks for this. I am a linux poser so I am not familiar with mamba-forge. I looked at the linked file and I gather this is a bash script to install mamba (a package manager I think). Then I would use that to install python3 and maybe cclib as well? Sorry for the basic questions. Thanks.
The script would install a minimal Python install (e.g., python-3.9 and numpy etc.) + mamba which, yes, is a package manager. You can then either use mamba or pip3 to install cclib.
I installed mamba (with updated Python) and then installed cclib. All good and I was able to open the Gaussian output file.
However, the python path settings don’t seem to reliably stick. If I double click on a file in MacOS that launches Avo2, the extensions are not loaded. If I launch Avo2 directly (e.g. using Spotlight), the extensions are loaded.
Another bit of information. Accessing Analysis → Vibrational Modes crashes Avo2 every time. I don’t know if it as an issue with cclib but I see the same thing with Open Babel. FYI.
Oh, I am sorry – I didn’t notice that releases were moved to Github! My version was 1.90 from Sourceforge. I installed v1.97, and I am impressed how many improvements and features are there! Wonderful job!
