Hey Guys!
I installed plugins for music production using Octopi and now I need their directory to add them into my Digital Audio Workstation.
I totally don’t know where it can be, so I hope you will help🙂

Have you looked under /usr/share
?
What plugins?
To find what files a package installs, check with:
pamac list --files name-of-package
Or:
pacman -Ql name-of-package
Yeah, I found some related to the plugin files but I cannot add them into my DAW
Exact one that I’m looking for is vital-synth.
I tried and it showed me a lot of directories, but I guess somewhere there I will find what I’m looking for.
Thank you guys!
If you know the plugin name or part of the name, and you run mlocate, you can type a console command something like locate -i PATTERN
, where PATTERN is some part of the plugin name. If not installed, the package is mlocate. There will be a systemd service/timer (systemctl list-timers
) that will run updatedb
. If you want the locate database available right away, just execute the console command sudo updatedb &
. The first time it runs, it may take a bit longer.
There is also the pamac GUI. When you select a package, there will be 3 tabs, “Details”, “Dependencies”, and “Files”. Each tab is scrollable, and you can scroll up and down to find the fully-qualified plugin name. Fully-qualified just means it includes the entire PATH (i.e, DIRECTORY/PLUGIN).
