Welcome to the LinVst wiki!

When the LinVst binary is unzipped it contains a convert folder and an embedded-version folder etc (Image 1).

The embedded version is the default, so the lin-vst-server files would be copied from the embedded-version folder to /usr/bin (Image 2)

The convert folder contains linvstconvert (Image 3).

Start linvstconvert and choose the linvst.so file from the embedded-version folder and choose the folder that contains the windows vst dll files (Image 4).

For example, I have installed some windows vst's in a folder named vst (Image 5).

Hit the linvstconvert Convert Start button and the folder containing the windows vst dll files will then have files added that have a .so extension and it will look like this (Image 6).

The DAW's plugin scan search paths get that folder path (vst folder) added and then the vst's should be available for use in the DAW.
