Hi, I am the author of an open source plugin for music applications, LibreArp. On macOS, I want to distribute its builds via a homebrew formula in a custom tap for the time being, since I don't own a Mac, but there is a pretty high demand for macOS builds. Some of the people from our small community are helping me with testing the formula, but we have hit a problem we can't seem to solve.
On macOS, VST3 plugins are installed in
/Library/Audio/Plug-ins/VST3
(or per-user in/Users/<username>/Library/Audio/Plug-ins/VST3
). However, since formulae are sandboxed under macOS, we can't link the plugin there, we get anOperation not permitted
error.I would like to ask, what the correct way of installing such a plugin could be, if it is even currently possible with Homebrew?
Edit: The current formula is here. It needs some refactoring but hopefully gets across what we are trying to do :)
