installing python for Glyphs 3

  1. Download the latest version of Python from python.org. (In our example it will be Python 3.12.3)

  2. Install Python with downloaded .pkg file

  3. open the terminal app which you can find in /System/Applications/Utilities/ folder

  4. install vanilla by copy/pasting following code and hitting enter: python3.12 -m pip install cocoa-vanilla

  5. do the same for fontTools module: python3.12 -m pip install fontTools

  6. Open Glyphs (if it was opened during python installation, close it and open it again).

  7. Go to Glyphs' Settings ( shortcut cmd+, ) > Addons tab

  8. Choose Python version 3.12.3 (Python.org) from popup menu

If commands in the terminal throw errors, try to write /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.12/bin/python3.12 instead of python3.12 in each command.
