Is there any way to execute Mel scripts outside of maya on osx? I’m trying to teach programming fundamentals so don’t need to run maya commands, just a place to easily demonstrate variables, loops, functions, etc.
Thanks

I’m not aware of anything outside of Maya picking up and running with MEL however if just getting access to an interpreter without the clutter/distraction of the Maya GUI, you could run Maya in prompt mode (invoke maya with the
-promptflag)(you could also open up a command port and do it that way.. but that might be more trouble than it’s worth at that stage)
