Default

That's Reaper's directory for its own included plugins (ReaSuite). Don't put any plugins in there.

Go to your options, preferences, plugins, VST and look at the VST paths. There's one by default specified. You can either use that, or add another path. I chose to add a path which isn't a hidden ".whatever" directory, and I put it in my documents folder. Avoid system folders, in any case. You don't want to be messing with permissions.

You'll need to know how to do this for some plugins like DrumGizmo VST (for instance) since it will intall (from KXStudio repo) into a different folder (in my case it was usr/lib/vst). So for that plugin, I added that path to my VST paths in preferences (rather than moving the plugin, because if it updates I'd like to leave it where it was installed).
