Default How To: Use Yabridge in Ubuntu

This is probably so easy that most won't need a how to. But sometimes it's nice to see an example vs instructions. Here's how it worked in my case:

INSTALLATION:
First download the latest version of yabridge from the releases page.
Extract the contents of the downloaded archive to:
/home/<user>/.local/share/


CHECK THAT IT WORKS BY PASTING THIS IN A TERMINAL:
~/.local/share/yabridge/yabridgectl status

and it should output something like this in the terminal:
Code:
yabridge path: <auto>
VST2 location: '/home/n/.vst/yabridge'
VST3 location: '/home/n/.vst3/yabridge'
CLAP location: '/home/n/.clap/yabridge'
ADD THE PATH WHERE THE WINDOWS VSTS EXIST BY PASTING THIS IN A TERMINAL:
~/.local/share/yabridge/yabridgectl add /<path>/<to_windows_vsts>/

THEN PASTE THIS IN A TERMINAL:
~/.local/share/yabridge/yabridgectl sync


WHICH CONVERTS THEM TO RUN ON LINUX.

NOW IN REAPER go to preferences>vsts and ADD THE PATH:
/home/<user>/.vst/yabridge/;

to the vst plugin scan location within Reaper (yabridge automatically dumps the converted files to this folder).


NOTE to those not familiar with Linux at all... the arrows (i.e. <user>) are not actually typed. That just signifies that you will fill your own data (i.e. computer user or a path) within the arrows (which again, the arrows themselves are not typed).
