plugins under `~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Steinberg/VstPlugins`. That way it
will automatically pick up any of your Windows VST2 plugins.
## Troubleshooting common issues
- If you're using the copying installation method and plugins are getting
skipped or blacklisted immediately when your VST host is scanning them, then
this is likely caused by `yabridge-host.exe` not being found in your search
path. Make sure the directory you installed yabridge to (e.g.
`~/.local/share/yabridge`) is listed in your `PATH` environment variable. For
instance, if you're using the default Bash shell, then you could append this
line to `~/.bash_profile`:
```shell
export PATH="$HOME/.local/share/yabridge:$PATH"
```
You'll likely have to log out and back in again for this to take effect for
applications not launched through a terminal. To check whether everything's
set up correctly you could run `which yabridge-host.exe` in a terminal. If it
is, then that should print a path to `yabridge-hsot.exe`.
- Sometimes left over Wine processes can cause problems. Run `wineserver -k` to
terminate Wine related in the current or default Wine prefix.
- Time out errors during plugin scanning are caused by the Wine process not
being able to start. There should be plugin output messages in your DAW or
terminal that with more information on what went wrong.
## Runtime dependencies and known issues
Any VST2 plugin should function out of the box, although some plugins will need
