Describe the bug When installing MediaPipe, the plugin fails while using Mac + Blender.

To Reproduce

Launch Blender on Mac
Follow provided installation instructions
Try to use plugin (see an error instead of UI)

Expected behavior The plugin is usable inside of Blender.

Screenshots

Desktop (please complete the following information):

OS: [Mac Ventura 13.2]
Blender Version 2.91
BlendArMocap Version Latest

Additional context I also tried to use the hack where we separately install OpenCV, and then try to install BlendAR mobcap, but this also didn't work. Thanks!

Similar story here, I just installed the latest version using:

sudo /Applications/Blender.app/Contents/Resources/4.1/python/bin/python3.11 -m pip install mediapipe-silicon

(Your python path may be different -- I copied the path from the output and just used it to install mediapipe-silicon). As of now, it seems like 0.9.2.1 works.

@maxbatt22 have you followed these steps from the documentation?

Mac
Start Blender as admin by using the terminal:

Navigate to Blender: cd /Applications/Blender/Contents/MacOS

Run Blender as admin: sudo ./Blender

The Terminal request may be blocked even with elevated privileges, if that happens navigate to System Settings > Privacy and Security > Full Disk Access then activate your Terminal. After doing so, the sudo tag shouldn’t be required anymore.
