   • Windows: C:\Program Files\VSTPlugins\ or C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\
   • Mac: /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST/ or /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3/
4. Copy the plugin file (.dll for Windows, .vst or .component for Mac) to the appropriate folder.
5. Restart your DAW and rescan for new plugins.
6. The plugin should now appear in your DAW's plugin list.

Supported DAWs:
