# I do not see the application in my Applications folder
## Where is my plugin installed?
In order to use our plugins, you will need to load them in a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation). The plugins do not run as standalone applications, and thus are not installed in your Applications folder.
On macOs they are installed in the standard location for plugins, within the VST, VST3 and Components folder.
On Windows, the installer lets you pick the installation path.
