Nyquist plugin installer

Install additional Nyquist plug-ins by picking their files from disk.

Copies Nyquist plug-in files into Audacity’s plug-ins folder for you, so you do not have to find that folder yourself. On success it reminds you that newly installed plug-ins still have to be switched on in the Plugin Manager before they appear in the menus.

Where to find it

Tools → Nyquist plugin installer.

Controls

  • Select file(s) to install — a Browse button that opens a file picker. It accepts plug-in files (.ny), Lisp files (.lsp), HTML files (.htm, .html) and text files (.txt), and you can select more than one file at a time.
  • Allow overwriting — Disallow or Allow. Disallow is the default, so an install that would replace an existing file of the same name is refused.

Notes

The extra file types matter because some plug-ins ship as more than one file — a .lsp library of shared functions, or an HTML help page alongside the .ny itself. Select them all together and they go to the right places.

Set Allow overwriting to Allow when you are updating a plug-in you already have installed; otherwise leave it on Disallow so an existing plug-in cannot be replaced by accident.
