### Installation methods
Yabridge can be set up using either copies or symlinks. By default, yabridgectl
will use the copy-based installation method since this will work with any host,
and there's usually no reason to use symlinks anymore. If you are using a DAW
that supports individually sandboxed plugins such as Bitwig Studio, then you can
choose between using copies and symlinks using the command below. Make sure to
rerun `yabridgectl sync` after changing this setting.
```shell
yabridgectl set --method=<copy|symlink>
```
### Managing directories
Yabridgectl can manage multiple Windows plugin install locations for you.

## Alternatives
If you want to script your own installation behaviour and don't feel like using
yabridgectl, then you could use one of the below bash snippets instead to set up
yabridge for VST2 plugins. This approach is slightly less robust and does not
perform any problem detection or status reporting, but it will get you started.
Doing the same thing for VST3 plugins is much more complicated and it involves
[merged
bundle](https://developer.steinberg.help/display/VST/Plug-in+Format+Structure#PluginFormatStructure-MergedBundle)
with the Windows VST3 module symlinked in, so it's recommended to have
yabridgectl do that for you.
```shell
# For use with symlinks
yabridge_home=$HOME/.local/share/yabridge
plugin_dir="$HOME/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Steinberg/VstPlugins"
find -L "$plugin_dir" -type f -iname '*.dll' -print0 |
xargs -0 -P$(nproc) -I{} bash -c "(winedump -j export '{}' | grep -qE 'VSTPluginMain|main') && printf '{}\0'" |
sed -z 's/\.dll$/.so/' |
xargs -0 -n1 ln -sf "$yabridge_home/libyabridge.so"
# For use with copies
yabridge_home=$HOME/.local/share/yabridge
