5. _Don't forget to rerun `yabridgectl sync` whenever you update yabridge._
### Manual setup
Setting up yabridge through yabridgectl is the recommended installation method
as it makes setting up plugins and updating yabridge easier. Yabridgectl will
also check for some common issues during the installation process so you can
get up and running faster. To manually set up yabridge for VST2 plugins, first
download and extract yabridge's files just like in the section above. Yabridge's
files have to be extracted to `~/.local/share`, such that
`~/.local/share/yabridge/libyabridge-vst2.so` exists. If you want to set up
yabridge for a VST2 plugin located at
`~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Steinberg/VstPlugins/plugin.dll`,
then you'll have to copy `~/.local/share/yabridge/libyabridge-vst2.so` to
`~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Steinberg/VstPlugins/plugin.so`. This process has
to be repeated for all of your installed plugins whenever you download a new
version of yabridge.
Doing the same thing for VST3 plugins involves creating a [merged VST3
bundle](https://developer.steinberg.help/display/VST/Plug-in+Format+Structure#PluginFormatStructure-MergedBundle)
by hand with the Windows VST3 plugin symlinked in. Doing this without
yabridgectl is not supported since the process is very error prone.
### Bitbridge
If you have downloaded the prebuilt version of yabridge or if have followed the
