How To Install REAPER Extensions - The REAPER Blog
My fresh full install on my new computer. I have it on my other computer (laptop)that’s also 64 bit – but I didn’t realize until this week I’ve been running a 32 bit version for the last few years. Might Reaper see it installed/avail on your systems from another program install like reason? No, you have to install it with Reaper. Run the installer again and make sure you selected the option to install ReWire. __________________ Peace...bluzkat 02-27-2014, 04:37 PM #13 Human being with feelings Join Date: Feb 2007 Posts: 616 Do you have REAPERRewireDev.dll in your Reaper(x64) folder? Did you install Reaper(x64)to the default directory given during the installation process? Try a search (You'll have to do a customized Win7 *everywhere* search to find it)) of your OS to see if the .dll file is located somewhere else. If you installed the portable version like vitalker asked, rewire won't install with that. Also check: Users/(name)/AppData/Roaming/Reaper/ and click on the file REAPER-rewire.ini See if a line in there might be pointing to different folder than your Reaper(x64) folder.

2025-03-26Apr 30, 2020 How To Install Reaper on Ubuntu Studio 20.04IntroductionSo, it’s been awhile since I have played around with Ubuntu Studio and I have always like the distribution in the way it is packaged and the realtime kernel for Audio, Video and Graphics tasks. One of my favorite DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) is Reaper. In the past to run Reaper you had to use WINE or other methods but as luck would have it they have been releasing a version for Linux so I thought would give it a try.Note:REAPER, fully featured with no artificial limitations. You can evaluate REAPER in full for 60 days. A REAPER license is affordably priced and DRM-free.For the post I am using Ubuntu Studio 20.04 running on an Intel Core 2 Duo with 8 GB RAM, 250 GB SSD and 1 TB SAS HD with an Nvidia GT610 graphics card. Nothing fancy but good enough for medium Audio and Video production. For the installation directory we will be using ~/reaper (~ is your home directory).Installation of ReaperFirst we need to download Reaper from select the x86_64 bit version. At the time of this post the release is 6.09.Extract the downloaded file to ~/reaper which will create the reaper_linux_x86_64 sub directory. Open a terminal session and change to ~/reaper directory. There are a few requirements for Reaper.Requirementslibc6, libstdc++ for gcc 4.x or laterlibgdk-3 (you can also target headless or libgdk-2 if you build your own libSwell from WDL, see below)ALSAFirst let’s address the first bullet point for the requirements for libc6, libstdc++. From the terminal type:$ sudo apt-get install build-essential libgtk-3-dev gitOnce the installation is done we can now tackle the libSwell requirement. We do this by downloading from the Cockos GIT repository and running make.$ git clone WDL/$ cd WDL/WDL/swellAt this point we are ready to run make. There are several options you can pass but for this instance we are just taking the defaults.$ makeIf all goes well you should see libSwell.so and several other files in the directory.Next step is to create a link for Reaper to find the library.$ ln -sf `pwd`/libSwell.so ~/reaper/reaper_linux_x86_64/REAPER/libSwell.soYou can run REAPER directly from the extracted directory by navigating to REAPER/ and run “./reaper”.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.
