Can anybody explain step by step how to make vst enabler work?
I have vst-bridge.so placed
In the Audacity and its plug-ins subfolder

I have vsts placed
In the audacity folder
Also inside its subfolders such as nyquist and plug-ins

I have placed the vsts inside folders called "VST" and "VST directory" inside Library/Audio/Plug-Ins
I have placed the vsts inside folders called "VST" and "VST directory" inside Home/Audio/Plug-Ins

And it doesn't work.
I have tried it with mac compatible vsts such as

And have not seen my vst effects show up in the effects menu

I have solved the topic myself.
Here''s what to do.

Step 1
Place vst-bridge.so into the Audacity folder.
Not the applications folder, or an empty folder with Audacity.app, just the Audacity folder.


Place the mac compatible vst effects files inside
Inside the audacity folder there is a folder called plug-ins
OR
Inside the audacity folder there is a folder called nyquist
OR
Home/Library/Plug-Ins/VST
OR
Library/Audio/VST
