Drumlabooh: Install

Get the plugin

• Latest release (12.1.0) — sources, binaries
• Net Install for Linux The fastest and preferred way for Linux. This Bash script installs the latest release binaries and kits locally (in user directory subdirectories). Use it for a non-root install. Note: if Drumlabooh and the kits were installed previously system-wide, remove them first.
• Windows VST3 installer — installs to C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3
• AUR page — yay -S drumlabooh
• Github page

Windows: installation

Download and run this installer — it installs the plugin to C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3 and places some drumkits in C:\drumlabooh_kits.

You can get more kits from Hydrogen or additional Drumlabooh kits from Telegram channel Drum Sklad. Just copy/unpack Drumlabooh kit or SFZ directories to C:\drumlabooh_kits or D:\drumlabooh_kits. Please read the Manual for details.

Linux: Build from source

To build Drumlabooh from source, install dependencies first. Drumlabooh is based on JUCE — the JUCE source will be fetched automatically during configuration.

Dependencies (Ubuntu/Debian)

pkgconf
libasound2-dev
libfreetype6-dev
libx11-dev
libxcomposite-dev
libxcursor-dev
libxext-dev
libxinerama-dev
libxrandr-dev
libxrender-dev
libfontconfig1-dev  # for Ubuntu 24.x

Dependencies (Arch Linux)

alsa-lib
freetype2
libx11
libxcomposite
libxcursor
libxext
libxinerama
libxrandr
libxrender

After installing dependencies, run in the source directory (as root or with sudo for the install step):

mkdir b
cd b
cmake ..
make
make install

This installs LV2 and VST3 versions to /usr/local/lib/lv2 and /usr/local/lib/vst3 by default. To change the prefix (e.g. to /usr):

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ..
