a package contains just 1 or 2 plugins; in other cases, dozens.

<h2>How do I install plugins?</h2>
|
||
|
||
<h3>Linux</h3>
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
<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
|
||
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
|
||
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
|
||
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>
|
||
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.
