You can get your copy of Reaper at the official website reaper.fm Reaper is a powerful Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) for Windows, MacOS, and now Linux.
I feel this video should be right next to the "Download" Reaper for Linux on Reaper's website. I was scratching my head for a whole week trying to install it until someone linked me to this video! Thank you! I had no idea drag/drop into the terminal was a thing.
So I agree 32 bit is almost pointless. But some people use the 32 bit version so they can run older plugins and open older 32bit only projects but I agree I think it's a waste of time to use 32 bit when there is so much more resources available in a 64bit DAW!
Thank you very much. Being a relative Linux newbie, dragging the sh into the terminal window was a nice surprise. I am learning little by little... My next challenge is the best way to get Korg Legacy vst plugins to work in this version of Reaper. Cheers!
To update just repeat the install process and it will install the new version of Reaper and replace the old one. Thanks for watching and have a great day!!!
oh my fucking god im a linux ultra noob, and i was frustrated as fuck with not being able get reaper in running order. Thank you sooooooooo much, you really helped me here!
This doesnt work for me... :( Im sure i am just doing something wrong. I am using linux2, its a chromebook, i drag the file over and it says file can not be found... Please help.
same for me - the .sh file keeps bouncing straight back to it's install folder - i've also tried typing it in but that doesn't work either - i don't think Reaper likes Peppermint linux
It won't work on a Chromebook running ChromeOS since Linux is running in a Virtual Machine, you would need to install a full blown Linux Distro on your machine. I wish I knew of a workaround but I don't.
I am running the Reaper Program directly out of the Reaper folder, it's executable by default. What are the benefits of installing other than Desktop integration?
Some distros need it to be installed and others don't it just depends on the distro you are using. But having it installed directly could speed up plugin scanning on some distros. Also some people had asked me to show how to install Reaper on Linux so that is why I did it this way. I was following the install process from the Reaper website, but if it is directly executable from the folder on your distro that is good information to know. Thanks for sharing and Thanks for watching!
Dear Music Factory Studios, Thanks for your answer! I've run the installer bash script, and it worked perfectly. No libgdk installation was needed. My Linux version is "Linux Mint 18.1 Serena", because this system was used at my corporation about 2-3 years ago, and a distro-update would be very risky because the custom developed softwares, that it runs. So, NOW I verified, that Reaper can run on old system versions. Not only on Windows, but on Linux too!!! =D And... it's mind blowing, that it has even an ARM build. An >hiper-professional music DAW< has an ARM build! This is the MOST PROFESSIONAL commercial software in the whole world!
Reaper will always work but you will see the nag screen for 1 minute every time you open Reaper. The Reaper team has put a lot of time and work into Reaper so consider purchasing a license if you use the software.
Qual distro você está usando, eu usei Linux mint e funcionou, mas tive problemas com distros arch. Usei o Google Translate, então minha tradução para o português pode estar incorreta
Thank you so much! I watched several other videos first, the commands they gave never worked. Turns out it was as simple as dragging the file into the terminal. So glad I stumbled on this video, you're a lifesaver!
thank you for that Video! its the first time i install an audio software on Linux succesfully :) what i cannot manage is my audio interface, it just doesnt see it.. do i have to install anything else for audio and Linux? what abou Extentions? do they just work? and any otehr tips for some usefull linux compatible plugins non reaper? tanks again have a nice day :)
You should consider installing Ubuntu Studio because they have an app that is exclusive to them which makes it super easy to install and will get your audio interface working seamlessly I'll post the link to my video on ubuntu studio and it should start for you right where it explains what you need. But if your distro is based on ubuntu you can install ubuntu studio controls by opening a terminal and typing "sudo apt install ubuntustudio-controls" here is the link to the video here on my channel. Thanks for watching and enjoy reaper! ua-cam.com/video/4wi-D_D9gBI/v-deo.html
I already have a video on that it's called setting up Linux for Pro Audio. It is a long video about an hour long. It has chapter markers so you can skip ahead to the spots you want to see. I didn't use reaper I used Ardour. But the setup is exactly the same. Thanks for watching.
It's less than 100 megabytes so it's not a huge app, but all you have to do is go to is open your file manger as root (sudo) usr/share/applications and delete the reaper file. Thanks for watching!
@@joesalyers thanks, I reinstalled it and could read the directory where the uninstall.sh was created during installation. So I searched it and uninstalled the app dragging the file to the terminal.
Not that I am aware of. You would need dedicated hardware to build a platform that only ran a DAW. There use to be a company that did that, and built a powerful DAW into a dedicated box, but gave it up and now their machines run Avid's Pro Tools on windows.

@@rimmersbryggeri I understand what you mean, you might be able to do that with ARCH linux but i still think you would need at least a window manager like Openbox or AwesomeWM. But you could try it with a minimal Arch Linux install.
@@rimmersbryggeri The easiest way to install ARCH Linux is look at 1 of these 3 distros that make Arch easy to install. Arco Linux is easy to install and you can choose exactly what you want.

Yo bro first of all thanks for showing us how to install it but so..I have installed reaper but when I try to open it, it says failed to execute child process kinda stuff can u help me out??😅😅
Well I need to know what Linux distro you are using and your machine specs. Because it sounds like you downloaded the wrong version. But post your distro and specs and I'll look into it and help you out. Thanks for watching
Ok, but manual says: Requirements: + libc6, libstdc++ for gcc 4.x or later + libgdk-3 (you can also target headless or libgdk-2 if you build your own libSwell from WDL, see below) + ALSA How can I install libgdk-3? I could only find a "libgdk3.0-cil" package in the apt package manager. Is it that, what I have to install? I'm on Linux Mint 18.2 version, NOT 19.1!!
Did you try the synaptic package manager? Other than synaptic I'm not sure I could help. Maybe reach out to the developers of Linux Mint. Reaper for linux is experimental so it might not work for everyone. I wish I could help with more information. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for watching, but without more information I couldn't begin to try to help you with the issue. Most of the time this means your buffer size is too high so I would suggest googling how to lower buffer size in reaper for linux. That is most likely the best place to start. Have a great day.
I'm running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and I get to the part about dragging the sh file over to the terminal but it just snaps back. I really have no idea what I'm doing.
That download function for ubuntu, fedora, debian, deppin or Zorin? Im a musician and i want to work with linux (Eviting piracy) but (.dll) vst plugins run ok on linux?
This will work for any Linux distro but remember Linux can NOT use windows plugins so you will have to search for Linux VST plugins. Also if you are interested in Linux for Audio first Learn about Jack and QjackCTL for Linux and for audio recording software look at Ardour. Try a Linux distro like Solus Budgie which has everything you need including plugins in there app center to get started. Have a great day!
@@diegorodriguezcharre4820 That is an option but it can cause instability in the operating system. I personally wouldn't do it but it is an option that Musicians can try if they are ok with the consequences and troubleshooting if it breaks. Wine for windows plugins and other options can be setup but it isn't supported by the the Native OS. LADSPA and LV2 plugins work with almost any Linux DAW such as Ardour & Mixbus and there is a Native Linux VST option out their as well. But that is the great part of Linux you can do things with your system that other people may not want to do and it's perfectly fine. Have a great day!
Windows vsts don't work naively. You can use linvst, ariwave or carla to get them to work. Might have a few issues though but from my experience, most vsts work fine. Just make sure to get the free trial of a vst before buying it to make sure it works.
@@hoodiek6802 Ubuntu Studio is the best option since it has all of the extra tools you will need for audio plus a real-time kernel. The distros that you should not use are elementary and deepin. I personally use Solus which works well. I can't really help you unless you tell me what distro you are using along with your specs and desktop environment.
@@joesalyersoh ok thanks I think I get it,I have a chromebook,my other laptop is getting fixed so I just wanted to download reaper on it but I don't know how
@@hoodiek6802 Reaper will not work on a chromebook unless you delete ChromeOS and install a full Linux OS. Trying to install a Linux app like Reaper on ChromeOS won’t work. Audio recording doesn’t work for Chromebooks with the Linux feature turned on. I wish I could help but google has refused to support audio for their Linux emulation feature. ☹️ Maybe when your other laptop is fixed check out Ubuntu studio. Have a great day.
@@LucasRodriguesMusica I'm not sure because I have don't use Elementary OS because it doesn't have a low latency kernel so audio is a problem on Elementary. Did you follow each step the way I did it in the video? Maybe change the path to 2 instead of 1 during the install. Also close your terminal and type Reaper into the App Menu's search box, sometimes apps won't show up there even if they are install unless you type it in. I hope this helps and I hope you can get Reaper to work with Elementary OS. Thank you for watching.
@@LucasRodriguesMusica Try Ubuntu Studio it has a bunch of audio apps already installed and makes setting up linux for audio very easy. I also have a review of Ubuntu Studio if you would like to see it before trying it on my channel. Here is the Ubuntu studio website ubuntustudio.org
I don’t think it will work on ChromeOS since you can’t use pulse audio or Jack on ChromeOS. You could install it but the audio won’t work. Thanks for watching.
@@joesalyers that was a fast reply. Thank you for putting up this video ,I watched other videos that were just to difficult for me and actually killed my vibe trying to install. I'm new to linix and dont know how to use terminal that well Thank u.
i couldnt drag and drop the file to my terminal somehow. and even if i type the path where i have download the reaper, it give me a feedback that says the file couldn't be found :/
What Linux Distro are you using and also did you get the right Version of Reaper for your computer's hardware? If you could give me that information I might be able to help.
@@shu2985 I'm not sure why it wouldn't drag and drop for you. When I made this video I was using Linux Mint 19 but I am sure drag and drop works in Mint 18 as well because the file manager "Nemo" has always had drag and drop since it was originally built 10 years ago. Did the Reaper zip file UN-zip correctly also you may want to unzip Reaper and try again. But on the other hand Reaper might be broken. I am no longer using Linux Mint on any of my machines but I just tested the newest Reaper file with Ubuntu 19.10 and it worked fine. I really wish I had an answer to help you with your issue.
What distro are you using? This can happen if you downloaded the wrong version of reaper sometimes. If you have a 64 bit CPU and downloaded the 32 bit version or vice-versa. Double check your download first if it is the right one, then delete the unzipped file and re-unzip again sometimes the extraction/zip app can cause an error.
Thanks a million, I thought going to the directory and tabbing out the script and hitting enter would work but didn't and the drag and drop is a new one to me!
@@joesalyers unfortunately we ran into other issues...lol Ubuntu Studio doesn't like something and my systems engineer thinks something missing from my distro to work right... I am actually using Mint on another machine and installed right away but still have not gotten Jack working right. Memory allocation issue and the file(s) I tried editing per StackExchange users has not worked so far
@@chrismorse3862 Open the app Ubuntu studio controls and set it up correctly with your audio interface. The Ubuntu studio controls will configure Jack for you. No need to open QjackCTL. Ubuntu Studio Controls comes stock with Ubuntu Studio and it allow Jack to work seamlessly with ALSA and PulseAudio through the Pipewire protocol. Look for Ubuntu Studio Controls in your app list if its not there which it should be just open a terminal and install it with "sudo apt install ubuntustudiocontrols" I hope this helps you get up and running.
@@joesalyers Sorry if I was not clear...we are getting permissions errors in ubuntu studio; the jack problems are on my Mint partition, which the Reaper install went fine on. I think it is due to memory allocation on the mint machine, an issue I have seen a lot of people have Thanks for the Reply! I will give it another go today
@@chrismorse3862 Oh ok the issue would most likely be the Kernel try installing a RT Kernel (Real Time Kernel) This is why Mint uses a very generic kernel so that it can work with a very wide range of machines and the Kernel isn't real time. I'm not sure if Linux Mint offers a Real Time Kernel in their update application but there are plenty of tutorials on how to compile your Kernel for Ubuntu based distros (Mint is based on Ubuntu). This should solve the issue. A real time Kernel will allow jack to run without NON-real time X-runs which is where your issue is coming from, most likely. I would try to install a RT Kernel.
Thanks! I'm a huge fan of Reaper and I am learning my way around Linux for Audio and I will hopefully get time to do more videos on recording with Linux and Reaper. I have used Apple's Mac's for nearly 25 years in our studio and I was just curious to see a Linux version of Reaper so I bought a new Laptop and deleted Windows, ( I haven't used Windows since version 2000 and I never will). I installed Linux Mint and another Distro Called Deepin OS on a dual boot setup just to keep up with the changing technology. Linux isn't ready to be the main machine in a commercial studio right now but if someone wanted to have a nice FREE recording rig on an old PC or Laptop Linux along with "Jack" is an option. The only issue is setup is complicated and if you are uncomfortable using the terminal it will be a long time before Linux is an option but if a person is willing to learn and do a LOT of forum and Manual reading then Linux could be a great option for budget minded musicians. It's just not as easy as Mac OS or even Windows but it can be done with time and patience. Have a great day and thanks for watching!

Windows vsts don't work naively. You can use linvst, ariwave or carla to get them to work. Might have a few issues though but from my experience, most vsts work fine. Just make sure to get the free trial of a vst before buying it to make sure it works.
I wouldn't in a hundred years worked out how to do this myself. Thanks mate!
I'm glad this video helped you install Reaper, Have a great day!
@@joesalyers And you my friend.
thank you
You Welcome and thank you for watching! Enjoy Reaper for Linux 😁
will this be able to get updated with the sudo apt-get update?
No it won't be able to but the Reaper team is working on that. Thanks for watching.
Thank you i happy great video man! see you
Thank you for watching
can you help me please i cant drag it to the terminal it doesint let me
What distro are you using?
@@joesalyers what distro should i be using because i cant drag it either
@@hoodiek6802 Ubuntu Studio is the best option since it has all of the extra tools you will need for audio plus a real-time kernel. The distros that you should not use are elementary and deepin. I personally use Solus which works well. I can't really help you unless you tell me what distro you are using along with your specs and desktop environment.
@@joesalyersoh ok thanks I think I get it,I have a chromebook,my other laptop is getting fixed so I just wanted to download reaper on it but I don't know how
@@hoodiek6802 Reaper will not work on a chromebook unless you delete ChromeOS and install a full Linux OS. Trying to install a Linux app like Reaper on ChromeOS won’t work. Audio recording doesn’t work for Chromebooks with the Linux feature turned on. I wish I could help but google has refused to support audio for their Linux emulation feature. ☹️ Maybe when your other laptop is fixed check out Ubuntu studio. Have a great day.
Thank you! It helped me
Thank you for watching enjoy Reaper.
i'm not getting in elementary OS, what can i do? when i past the .sh on terminal the system open the side loading and leave the "preparing"
don't leave*
@@LucasRodriguesMusica I'm not sure because I have don't use Elementary OS because it doesn't have a low latency kernel so audio is a problem on Elementary. Did you follow each step the way I did it in the video? Maybe change the path to 2 instead of 1 during the install. Also close your terminal and type Reaper into the App Menu's search box, sometimes apps won't show up there even if they are install unless you type it in. I hope this helps and I hope you can get Reaper to work with Elementary OS. Thank you for watching.
@@joesalyers got it... I'll install mint cinnamon today! It's everything more comfortable. Thanks! 💙
@@LucasRodriguesMusica Try Ubuntu Studio it has a bunch of audio apps already installed and makes setting up linux for audio very easy. I also have a review of Ubuntu Studio if you would like to see it before trying it on my channel. Here is the Ubuntu studio website ubuntustudio.org
Man this guys looking for help on elementary os, not to switch i need helllllppppp
does it work on chrome os
I don’t think it will work on ChromeOS since you can’t use pulse audio or Jack on ChromeOS. You could install it but the audio won’t work. Thanks for watching.
Fantastic, fantastic!
Thanks for watching!!!!
Best tutorial hands down,thank you.
Thank you for watching!! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
@@joesalyers that was a fast reply. Thank you for putting up this video ,I watched other videos that were just to difficult for me and actually killed my vibe trying to install.
I'm new to linix and dont know how to use terminal that well Thank u.
@@leeroy855 glad this was helpful and easy. Also welcome to the Linux community!
Super simple - great tutorial!
Thanks for watching enjoy Reaper!
i couldnt drag and drop the file to my terminal somehow. and even if i type the path where i have download the reaper, it give me a feedback that says the file couldn't be found :/
What Linux Distro are you using and also did you get the right Version of Reaper for your computer's hardware? If you could give me that information I might be able to help.
@@joesalyers Im using " Linux Mint 18.3 Sylvia
\l " for the Linux Distro and with UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
@@joesalyers so i download the reaper5984_linux_x86_64.tar.xz version of Reaper
@@shu2985 I'm not sure why it wouldn't drag and drop for you. When I made this video I was using Linux Mint 19 but I am sure drag and drop works in Mint 18 as well because the file manager "Nemo" has always had drag and drop since it was originally built 10 years ago. Did the Reaper zip file UN-zip correctly also you may want to unzip Reaper and try again. But on the other hand Reaper might be broken. I am no longer using Linux Mint on any of my machines but I just tested the newest Reaper file with Ubuntu 19.10 and it worked fine. I really wish I had an answer to help you with your issue.
@@joesalyers oh it works! i found out that i didnt unzip it, lol, thats why it could not drag n drop. Thxs for the ans!
Love you buddy :)
😁👍 Enjoy Reaper
i can drag and drop but it keeps saying no such file or directory
What distro are you using? This can happen if you downloaded the wrong version of reaper sometimes. If you have a 64 bit CPU and downloaded the 32 bit version or vice-versa. Double check your download first if it is the right one, then delete the unzipped file and re-unzip again sometimes the extraction/zip app can cause an error.
Tkanks!!! Very Good!!!
Thank you for watching! Enjoy Reaper on Linux.
Thank you sir.....
Thank you for watching! Enjoy Reaper it is a great DAW for Linux.
THANK YOU
Your welcome. Thanks for watching!!
Thanks a million, I thought going to the directory and tabbing out the script and hitting enter would work but didn't and the drag and drop is a new one to me!
I'm glad the video helped!! Enjoy Reaper and THANKS for Watching!!!!
@@joesalyers unfortunately we ran into other issues...lol
Ubuntu Studio doesn't like something and my systems engineer thinks something missing from my distro to work right...
I am actually using Mint on another machine and installed right away but still have not gotten Jack working right. Memory allocation issue and the file(s) I tried editing per StackExchange users has not worked so far
@@chrismorse3862 Open the app Ubuntu studio controls and set it up correctly with your audio interface. The Ubuntu studio controls will configure Jack for you. No need to open QjackCTL. Ubuntu Studio Controls comes stock with Ubuntu Studio and it allow Jack to work seamlessly with ALSA and PulseAudio through the Pipewire protocol. Look for Ubuntu Studio Controls in your app list if its not there which it should be just open a terminal and install it with "sudo apt install ubuntustudiocontrols"
I hope this helps you get up and running.
@@joesalyers Sorry if I was not clear...we are getting permissions errors in ubuntu studio; the jack problems are on my Mint partition, which the Reaper install went fine on. I think it is due to memory allocation on the mint machine, an issue I have seen a lot of people have
Thanks for the Reply! I will give it another go today
@@chrismorse3862 Oh ok the issue would most likely be the Kernel try installing a RT Kernel (Real Time Kernel) This is why Mint uses a very generic kernel so that it can work with a very wide range of machines and the Kernel isn't real time. I'm not sure if Linux Mint offers a Real Time Kernel in their update application but there are plenty of tutorials on how to compile your Kernel for Ubuntu based distros (Mint is based on Ubuntu). This should solve the issue. A real time Kernel will allow jack to run without NON-real time X-runs which is where your issue is coming from, most likely. I would try to install a RT Kernel.
Спасибо!
Спасибо за просмотр. Thank you for watching! Enjoy Recording with Reaper!
great video man!
Thanks! I'm a huge fan of Reaper and I am learning my way around Linux for Audio and I will hopefully get time to do more videos on recording with Linux and Reaper. I have used Apple's Mac's for nearly 25 years in our studio and I was just curious to see a Linux version of Reaper so I bought a new Laptop and deleted Windows, ( I haven't used Windows since version 2000 and I never will). I installed Linux Mint and another Distro Called Deepin OS on a dual boot setup just to keep up with the changing technology. Linux isn't ready to be the main machine in a commercial studio right now but if someone wanted to have a nice FREE recording rig on an old PC or Laptop Linux along with "Jack" is an option. The only issue is setup is complicated and if you are uncomfortable using the terminal it will be a long time before Linux is an option but if a person is willing to learn and do a LOT of forum and Manual reading then Linux could be a great option for budget minded musicians. It's just not as easy as Mac OS or even Windows but it can be done with time and patience. Have a great day and thanks for watching!
@@joesalyers that's good to hear! Your video was very helpful! I had a hard time trying to run Reaper properly. Have great day, too!
Thank you - been using Ubuntu Studio and never installed anything this way before.
Thank you for watching! Glad this helped!
