Brilliant bro, Absolutely live savior.

Hey, guys. I'm completely noob using mac os. Can you please tell how can I run this script? Tried to do it but received a "command not found" message.

Tried to update python using the PKG file but no luck so far.

Thanks in advance.

Files were removed, but some programs like Viscosity anyway shows trial expired message !

Hey @sergiycheck, it's possible that there might be some files in the root directory that need attention. Various software use different locations and to ensure everything is covered, it might take a little extra time.
