Cannot start #9

I would like to try reablink as I have found that this is available on my OS. https://github.com/ableton/link

However, it seems to be unable to start with the following error.

ReaBlink_Monitor.lua:6: attempt to call a nil value (field 'Blink_GetEnabled')

Screencast:

What should I do?

Environment:

ReaBlink 0.5.6
reaper 7.17-1
abletonlink 3.1.2-1
OS: Arch Linux x86_64
Kernel: 6.9.7-arch1-1
WM: sway

It seems the ReaBlink extension itself isn't loaded during REAPER startup. Consider installing ReaBlink through ReaPack and restart REAPER, or make sure you've installed proper version of ReaBlink in correct path for your CPU architecture and operating system. That being said, ReaBlink hasn't been tested on Arch Linux.

E: In this case, https://github.com/ak5k/reablink/releases/download/0.5.6/reaper_reablink-x86_64.so file should be installed into UserPlugins directory under your REAPER resource path.

I restarted REAPER and it seems to have worked! Thanks!

Nice! If you're planning to use only one instance of REAPER in your Link session, you might want to consider running ReaBlink in Master mode. This can be achieved by editing the ReaBlink_Monitor.lua file and uncommenting line containing reaper.Blink_SetMaster(true).

Understood. Thanks for the advice!
