Can't load plugin Geo-SAM

[mikedufty]

I've tried to follow the installation instructions, but getting the failure message below when I try to activate the plugin.
Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?
Tried on Windows 10 and 11, QGIS 3.34.14 (LTR) and 3.40 (Latest)

`Couldn't load plugin 'Geo-SAM'

Hi @mikedufty

Thanks for your feedback. According to my test, QGIS 3.40 does not have this issue. This issue is related to QGIS API change. I will fix it soon.

[mikedufty]

Ah yes, it's a different error on 3.40

Did you download the *_code_update.zip file? If yes, please try downloading the source code version instead. *_code_update.zip is only for update the code.

[mikedufty]

Thanks, that was it. I did read the instructions, but for some reason still just downloaded the top file instead of the one I was supposed to.
