Maya ART not asking for MayaTools folder

Hello! I’m trying to add ART to Maya 2014.
Copying userSetup.py into maya scripts folder, then start Maya but I get no any pop-up asking for a MayaTools folder.
Also no error or something unexpected.
Didn’t found anything similar, glad for your help.

Hi . You copied in “C:\Users\user.name\Documents\maya\scripts” ? If yes, try copy to " C:\Users\user.name\Documents\maya\2014\scripts"

Hi . Try open Maya.env in " C:\Users\user.name\Documents\maya\2014" and find MAYA_SCRIPT_PATH = “here your script folder” if file empty try write string
MAYA_SCRIPT_PATH = C:\Users(user.name)\Documents\maya\scripts
not forgot replace (user.name) on your user name. And then try load maya.

Unfortunately, this gave the same result

This one also did nothing. I tried to use PYTHONPATH instead of MAYA_SCRIPT_PATH, not helped too.

You using standalone Maya 2014 or network ?

standalone

From what version Unreal Engine your take ART. I Try it too.

from v4.10

Hi . I try ART from v4.10 all works fine. Check how installing maya, only that it remains.

ok, thx, I will try to reinstall it.

It ain’t helped, again. I also got maya 16 license from job, and again, got nothing, even with 2016 version.

Hi . You sure in correct all steps to setup ART? Sorry for that question. Can you write what you do, step by step, to setup ART…

Sorry for wasting your time…Seems like I was totally blind. Saw this row in the output log just moment ago. Not sure if it was there before:

Failed to execute userSetup.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
UnicodeEncodeError: ‘ascii’ codec
can’t encode characters in position
9-14: ordinal not in range(128)

What about setup. I’m putting it to this folder:
C:\Users\byob\Documents\maya\scripts.
The file itself was taken from
F:\Apps\Epic Games\4.10\Engine\Extras\Maya_AnimationRiggingTools\MayaTools

That’s my fault. A bit thinking, and the problem has disappeared. The point is cyrillic symbol in user name. Thank you a lot, you helped me to understand this.
