Installing the SWS Extension (for end users)

Note: SWS may now be installed using ReaPack as of version 2.14. It is available from the default ReaTeam Extensions repository.


Make sure you download the correct architecture matching your REAPER version (32/64-bit, x86/ARM).

Linux

Extract the archive in your REAPER resource folder (Options > Show REAPER resource path in explorer/finder). That's ~/.config/REAPER for a non-portable install.

tar -xf sws-2.12.1.3-Linux-aarch64.tar.xz -C ~/.config/REAPER

macOS

Since the SWS Extension is not codesigned nor notarized, users of macOS Catalina or newer need to click on "Allow Anyway" in System Preferences > Security & Privacy after launching REAPER once for SWS to load after installation.

This can also be done manually by running this command using Terminal.app:

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine ~/Library/Application\ Support/REAPER/UserPlugins/reaper_sws-*.dylib

Windows

Launch the SWS Extension installer and choose your REAPER install directory.
