Troubleshooting
Pre-Maya 2017u5 Installation
We are working to improve the install process for older versions of Maya. Here is a work around to help when the drag and drop installer isn't recognized.
Steps | |
---|---|
We can actually run the installation process manually from the script editor. Copy/Paste the contents of the installer into a Python tab of the script editor. |
eblabs_drag_drop_install.py |
onMayaDroppedPythonFile() Add one additional line at the end. Make sure there aren't any tabs or spaces in front of this. |
![]() |
Click Run | ![]() |
Voila |
![]() This will launch the installer. Note for Macs, from here you will need to follow the "Offline Install" method. |

Hello, I got the World Space 2 and I tried to install it via Package Manager. The thing is Package Manager is working for me on maya 2018 but not in 2020.2 which is the version I need it for. Any ideas on how I could make it work?

Just wondering can this software be silently installed, using Microsoft SCCM or Azure. Do you have any silent installation switches.

Hey Eric, thanks for all your ongoing support with these tools. They are very valuable to a lot of people :) I have the Package Manager working along with the World Space 2 in 2023.2 but unfortunately the eblabs_Group tool doesn't work. It loads through the package, shelf button and image appear. But when running it I get this error: # Error: AttributeError: file line 12: module 'eblabs_hub.GroupMoveTool.scripts.GroupMoveTool' has no attribute 'GroupMove' Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Eric. Thank you for the very necessary plugins. As far as I understand, Package Manager will be installed only if Maya is launched with Python version 3. With Python 2, I could not install Package Manager! I tried this on Maya 2022.4 Maybe this information will save someone's nerves :)

Hi Eric, this is such an awesome tool thanks so much for making it available. However I was crushed to see that Check Gimbal flipping doesn't seem to work in Maya 2022, Whenever I click it it scrubs the timeline as though it's doing something, but it never shows the window that displays which axis is best! Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Hello, I'm trying to install the package manager file (latest linked above) on Maya 2024, unfortunately it keeps asking for the install file. I locate the package file and it just loops asking again the install file. Tried downloading older versions or the manual method above but I get the same loop. Any help appreciated! Thanks

The link to the install manager is broken I believe, can I install the tools without it? Thank you!
