<h2>How do I install plugins?</h2>
2014-02-05 13:31:58 -05:00
<h3>Linux</h3>
<p>
2014-02-05 13:31:58 -05:00
<dfn>Installation</dfn> will vary a little depending on how you get plugins. If
your repository has a particular plugin package, just install it using
2013-03-05 09:49:09 -05:00
the normal software package management tool for your system. Most
Linux distributions that are good for audio work will have most of
the LADSPA and LV2 plugins mentioned above available in ready-to-use
forms.
</p>
<p>
Finding them will typically require <em>searching</em> your
distribution's repository to find the name of the package. The tools
for doing this vary from distribution to distribution. A good place
to start searching is with the name of the package (e.g. "caps" or
"calf"). There are no fixed rules about what different Linux
2013-05-19 18:03:04 -04:00
distributions call their packages for a given set of plugins.
</p>
<p>
If the package isn't available, then you can build the plugins from
2013-03-05 09:49:09 -05:00
source (plugins are generally fairly easy to compile if you've ever
done this sort of thing before).
</p>
<p>
LADSPA plugins are shared library files. They need to be installed
in either /usr/lib/ladspa, /usr/local/lib/ladspa or in a directory
mentioned in your LADSPA_PATH environment variable.
</p>
<p>
2013-03-05 09:49:09 -05:00
LV2 plugins are folders/directories. They need to
installed in either /usr/lib/lv2, /usr/local/lib/lv2 or a directory
mentioned in your LV2_PATH environment variable.
</p>
<p>
Linux VST (LXVST) plugins are distributed as shared library
files. They are typically installed in /usr/lib/lxvst,
/usr/local/lib/lxvst or a directory mentioned in your LXVST_PATH
environment variable.
</p>

<h3>OS X</h3>
<p>
Unless you're a particularly technical computer user, building and
installing plugins in the LV2 (or LADSPA) format is probably not
something worth planning on.
</p>
<p>
Most of the plugins you are likely to use on OS X will be in Apple's
AudioUnit format. These have their own installation process that tends to
just work.
