Installation:

1) You can run REAPER directly from the extracted .tar.xz -- simply navigate to
REAPER/ and run "reaper5".

By default configuration state will be stored in ~/.config/REAPER. If you want
to keep all configuration with the "reaper5" executable, you can create a file
named "reaper.ini" alongside it, which will cause REAPER to use that directory.

2) If you would like to install REAPER to your system (either globally in /opt,
or in ~/opt) and/or integrate with the desktop environment, you can run the
included "install-reaper.sh" script from the terminal. It will offer you
choices on how to proceed. If you choose to install REAPER, the script will
also generate an uninstall script in order to remove it at a later date.

Upgrading old versions of REAPER:

You can always install a new version over the old version, there is no need to
remove the old version first.
Sound good?
