How to Activate?

The addon code needs to be revised, it is showing the following error : Warning: 'VIEW3D_ViewTools_MT_pie ' doesn't have upper case alpha-numeric prefix register_class(...): Warning: 'BG_Change_MT_pie_menu' doesn't have upper case alpha-numeric prefix
You can't fix this through a Blender menu or setting. The only way to resolve this is by editing the add-on's Python code, which is something only the developer should do.
The fix involves:
Locating the add-on's Python script (the .py file).
Opening the script in a code editor.
Finding the class definition, like class VIEW3D_ViewTools_MT_pie(Menu):.
Renaming the class to follow the convention, such as class VIEW3D_MT_ViewTools_pie(Menu):.
Saving the file and restarting Blender.
