I installed 2024 WPILib_macOS-Arm64-2024.3.1 => Manage Vendor Library not showing up so I can install 2024 Rev java library files

On Mac OS 12.5.1, 16 GB ram, MacBook Air M1

  1. I deleted 2023 folder ( ~/wpilib/2023)

  2. I installed as instructed 2024 WPILib_macOS-Arm64-2024.3.1.dmg (WPILib Installation Guide — FIRST Robotics Competition documentation )

  3. Started up VS Code and wanted to use WPIlib: Manage Vendor Library

  4. nothing shows up, like the command did nothing. See this video for what I see => https://youtu.be/mlWr83jamwo

  5. I did a reinstall of the 2024 WPILib_macOS-Arm64-2024.3.1.dmg… Still same issue.

  6. Search ChiefDelphi… not finding any post that looks similar …

What is the magic trick to use? :slight_smile:

Do you have an frc project open?

I did not have an FRC project open… Is that a requirement?

From 3rd Party Libraries — FIRST Robotics Competition documentation

Vendor dependencies are installed on a per-project basis (so each robot project can have its own set of vendor dependencies).

Without a project open, there’s nothing to install vendor dependencies to.

Thanks :slight_smile: Now working. As a new person the subtlety of “Vendor dependencies are installed on a per-project basis (so each robot project can have its own set of vendor dependencies).” was not obvious to me :slight_smile:
