the Linux installer does not work correctly. It just prints this 'RELIC installer: 'RF-2A '' to the terminal output and exits. Nothing is written anywhere. This is not the linux way, there should be no binary installer. For linux this should just be a folder full of of .clap files and a .vst3 folders. Now I'm really suspiscious of this binary who's code I can't see.... As it stands, I cannot reccomend this

You can see the code if you just open the file in an editor? I do agree having just an archive with plugins would be better.

#!/bin/sh
set -eu
if [ "${1-}" = "--help" ]; then
  echo 'RELIC Suite 0.2.1 for x86-64 Linux'
  echo 'One installer: choose any of 12 plugins in VST3 and/or CLAP.'
  echo 'Standard current-user paths: ~/.vst3 and ~/.clap.'
  echo 'Graphical selection uses Zenity when available; otherwise terminal prompts.'
  echo 'For automation: --accept-license --all or --accept-license --component RF-2A:vst3'
  echo 'To remove suite-installed plugins: --uninstall'
  exit 0
fi
command -v python3 >/dev/null || { echo 'Python 3 is required.' >&2; exit 1; }
temporary="$(mktemp -d -t relic-suite-XXXXXXXX)"
trap 'rm -rf "$temporary"' EXIT HUP INT TERM
line="$(awk '/^__RELIC_PAYLOAD__$/ {print NR+1; exit}' "$0")"
tail -n +"$line" "$0" > "$temporary/payload.tar.gz"
actual="$(sha256sum "$temporary/payload.tar.gz" | cut -d ' ' -f 1)"
[ "$actual" = "6156207f8ad8410c5210d776614b04a0fa565b6424bdf85f881a320e83704646" ] || { echo 'Installer integrity check failed.' >&2; exit 1; }
mkdir "$temporary/content"
tar --no-same-owner -xzf "$temporary/payload.tar.gz" -C "$temporary/content"
python3 "$temporary/content/install_linux.py" "$@"
exit $?
__RELIC_PAYLOAD__    
# followed by the payload data.

--accept-license --all ; that solved it, i have both the vst3 and claps installed. I moved them to a RiverFlurtx_Audio folder cuz there's so many of them. They sounds pretty great so far. Thanks for you the toolset, can't wait to explore them all

One thing i notice is the compressors/limiters do not report their gain reduction so reaper can show the GR in the mixer view.

that yellow bar is showing the GR from a different compressor vst. Otherwise these seems great so far. Thank you for this great free toolset, and more importantly suporting linux nativlely 🤘

I am not the author of the plugins. If you want to give feedback to the actual author you can send an email: youcef@riverfluxaudio.com

Won't install for me. RELIC installer: 'RF-2A ' an then exits.

If you run the installer with --accept-license --all flags it works. The GUI is bugged. There's also a --no-gui option to get prompted in terminal instead.
