I install all applications in my Applications folder. If an app includes an installer, the installer for the app places the files/folders where they belong and are needed for access by the app. If you move the files/folders installed by an app from their default location, more than likely you will experience problems with the app or it may not work at all.
If an app is installed as a bundle, which many/most 3rd party apps are installed as a bundle with OS X, all of the components for the application are in a single folder that is represented by the application's icon. To uninstall an app that was installed as a bundle, all you need to do is drag the application to the Trash and empty the Trash. There will be one additional and separate file, which is the Application's preference file located in the Preferences folder. This includes application preference settings, etc. An application's preference file takes up very little space and does not cause any harm if not deleted if the application is deleted. If you delete the application's preference file from the Preferences folder or move the preference file to another location, a new preference file for the app will be created automatically in the Preferences folder the next time the app is launched.
I have extensive experience with both platforms and if you are not digging where the few application component files/folders are located with an app that is installed with an installer, if you were a Windows user this must have been a full time job for you. 😉
In my experience, this is managed much better with OS X since a majority of 3rd party apps are installed via a bundle, not using an installer. For an app that uses an installer, the related components are installed in the required location for use and access by the app. Mess around with this and you will likely end up uninstalling and re-installing the app for it to function properly.
If an Apple app is moved from the Applications folder, it will not be checked for an available update when running Software Update.

The VST folder under Mac OS X is located in the following folder: Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST. You place your VST Plug-ins in this directory.

Hi everyone,Am having trouble with VST. I read an article about the 5 best vsts out there (http://abletonlife.com/top-5-free-vst-p . ac-edition). I'm a rookie so just wanted to try one out. I currently have Ableton Live, not Ableton suite and I'm using a mac.
- Make a folder anywhere on your computer, I put mine at. C:/Program Files/Plug ins. Then in Live, Options-Preferences-File/Folder point Live to the folder. That's also where you rescan the folder after you drop new ones in there.
- Installation and Compatibility We are aware of some issues with the VST3 versions of Auto-Tune EFX 3 and the AVOX 4 plugins in Sonar. We will be addressin. Mon, Feb 5, 2018 at 4:18 PM.
How To Install Ableton Pack
So I chose one from the article. http://www.lowcoders.fr/downloadRelease.php?name=KD.dmg - note this is an automatic download page.I download the file and go through all the motions (installing, agreeing to terms, saving on my hard drive etc)
This vst is now saved in my: library/audio/plug-ins/components
The file is called kingdubby.component
When I go back to Live I open up my preferences and go to the tab filefolder - plug-in sources and under this turn on the 'use vst plug-in custom folder' and browse to specify the folder (library/audio/plug-ins/components), I then rescan and click on the plug-in device browser symbol. Sadly kingdubby.component is not there.
If anyone can help me, I would honestly consider mailing you cash and I'm broke, that's how much I want to get this working haha!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
