Please launch Terminal from Spotlight or Launchpad > Utilities and type this:

cd /Applications/Filter\ Forge\ 8/
sudo ./InstallPlugins

Sudo will ask you for an admin password, as InstallPlugins requires elevated privileges.

It works, if you do it accurately:

1. Type cd /Applications/Filter\ Forge\ 8/
2. Press Enter
3. Type sudo ./InstallPlugins
4. Press Enter
5. Type your admin password and press Enter

iMac:~ charlesmarsden$ cd/Applications/Filter\Forge\8/
-bash: cd/Applications/FilterForge8/: No such file or directory
iMac:~ charlesmarsden$ sudo ./InstallPlugins
Password:
sudo: ./InstallPlugins: command not found
iMac:~ charlesmarsden$

I am still having issues. I can launch filter forge as a stand alone application but not as a plugin. I have also dragged and dropped into the photoshop filter folder.

Solution to Photoshop Plug-in fail on Mac. This is copied from user M_L on another of this forum's posts. I tried this using Mac OS Catalina, FF 9 and PS 2020 and PS 2021 and it worked for me (Anvil Hammer).
_______

Shut down Photoshop

In Finder, open: Applications > Filter Forge 9
Make an alias of 'Filter Forge 9 universal.plugin'

In another Finder window, open: Applications > Adobe Photoshop 2021 > Plug-ins
Copy alias to the Photoshop Plug-ins folder (do not actually copy the plugin - it must be an alias!) ← Will ask you for admin privs
