HOW TO INSTALL
==============

Step 1)

Copy the whole folder "MT-PowerDrumKit.vst3" into:

Home -> .vst3

You may have to enable "Show hidden files" in your file explorer settings for the folder to show up. 

If the folder .vst3 doesn't exist in your Home directory, just create it yourself. All major DAWs are scanning this location by default.


Step 2)

Install required libraries.

Most of the required libraries might already be installed on your system. To make sure everything is present and up to date for debian based systems e.g. Ubuntu just copy and paste the following command into your terminal.

sudo apt update && sudo apt install \
  libx11-6 \
  libxcb1 \
  libxcb-util1 \
  libxcb-cursor0 \
  libxcb-keysyms1 \
  libxcb-xkb1 \
  libxkbcommon0 \
  libxkbcommon-x11-0 \
  libfreetype6 \
  libglib2.0-0 \
  libcairo2 \
  libpango-1.0-0 \
  libpangoft2-1.0-0 \
  libfontconfig1 \
  libpng16-16 \
  zlib1g



Step 3)

Use the follow script to check whether the installations of the dependencies were successful:

check_pkg_any() {
  for pkg in "$@"; do
    if dpkg-query -W -f='${Status}\n' "$pkg" 2>/dev/null | grep -q "install ok installed"; then
      echo "✅ installed: $pkg"
      return 0
    fi
  done

  echo "❌ missing: $*"
  return 1
}

check_pkg_any libx11-6
check_pkg_any libxcb1
check_pkg_any libxcb-util1
check_pkg_any libxcb-cursor0
check_pkg_any libxcb-keysyms1
check_pkg_any libxcb-xkb1
check_pkg_any libxkbcommon0
check_pkg_any libxkbcommon-x11-0
check_pkg_any libfreetype6
check_pkg_any libglib2.0-0 libglib2.0-0t64
check_pkg_any libcairo2
check_pkg_any libpango-1.0-0
check_pkg_any libpangoft2-1.0-0
check_pkg_any libfontconfig1
check_pkg_any libpng16-16 libpng16-16t64
check_pkg_any zlib1g
