IMPORTANT NOTE for mGear 5.0.7:
RBF Manager now uses the latest SHAPES WeightDriver with a new kernel. I've found the old kernel works better for RBF Manager, so I'm working on a custom branch and update to let you choose the solver version. Stay tuned!

IMPORTANT NOTE: MacOS Catalina and later has heightened security restrictions on apps and plugins. Run this command in the Terminal, which removes the “quarantine” flag from when it gets downloaded:
sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /PATH/TO/THE/MGEAR/SOLVERS/DIRECTORY/
