<h2>How to install plugins?</h2>
|
||
|
||
<h3>Linux</h3>
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
<dfn>Installation</dfn> will vary a little depending on how the plugins have
|
||
been obtained. If a particular plugin package appears in the local repository,
|
||
installing it using is done by using the normal software package management
|
||
tool for the 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 form.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Finding them will typically require <em>searching</em> the
|
||
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
|
||
"cmt"). 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 the plugins can be built from
|
||
source (plugins are generally fairly easy to compile and well-documented).
|
||
</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 the local LADSPA_PATH environment variable.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
LV2 plugins are folders/directories. They need to be
|
||
installed in either /usr/lib/lv2, /usr/local/lib/lv2 or a directory
|
||
mentioned in the local 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 the local LXVST_PATH
|
||
environment variable.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<h3>OS X</h3>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Except for the 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 likely to be used on OS X will be in Apple's
|
||
AudioUnit format. These have their own installation process that tends to
|
||
just work.
