How to install the apple silicon / ARM64 version of REAPER, SWS Extension, ReaPack Extension, and VLC.
The main trouble you run into with this is the Mac security and privacy settings blocking you at every step.

Thanks a lot for your tutorial.
I’m using a MacBook Air M1 and I am not getting any result after dragging the “reaper_sws-arm64.dylib” file to the UserPlugins folder.
There is no warning about not being able to open it it when I re-launch Reaper, there is also no new menu in Reaper. Do you have any ideas?
I had the same issue – I manually double-clicked the .dylib to trigger the security warning, and that let me go to the General tab of the Sercurity pref pane and click “Open Anyway” but… still nothing when I restart the machine and open Reaper. It’s like it just doesn’t see it.
Hello Doug, I have exactly the same problem, extensions menu not showing up but also no warnings on authorization. Did you find a solution in the mean time? BR Erik
Is this an issue with that file’s permissions?
