[SOLVED] How do I install two Reapers?
Hi,
I have Reaper installed /opt/REAPER and ~/.config/REAPER. If I want to have another instance installed, how do I do that (just for testing stuff)? I want it to be clean and slick. I tried to install in ~/.OTR/REAPER but when I start it loads the previous one. So...one Reaper that I use for making music with all my plugins and templates. And...one clean without any plugins except native one's for testing and other things.

I'd try just un-archiving to some folder, like Downloads, and not run the installer script at all. Then just navigate to it with a file browser or terminal and run the reaper executable file.

Moved REAPER folder outside Download and the same thing occur, it starts my previous REAPER installation.

Portable installs don't clobber each other

Looks like the .config/REAPER/reaper.ini file is getting used no matter where a REAPER folder is located or which copy you run. I renamed my .config/REAPER folder and then launched REAPER. I watched it instantly create a new .config/REAPER folder.
I didn't try messing with it any further, but possibly having multiple .config/REAPER folders that you manually switch in and out could achieve REAPER with multiple configurations. |

[SOLVED]
Fixed by uninstall the original install. Copy REAPER folder to 2 instances and renamed them reaper_org and reaper_otr. Created two launchers and two different icon so I know which one to start. Everything is okie dokie. Copied reaper.ini for the original install, deleted everyhing inside and started reaper. It creates folders and everyting neat and clean.
Two portable installations with different setup. One clean and the second one with theme and templates. Swell! Thank you!

I have a problem with Reaper not having enough midi ports out to a big standalone instance of Linuxsampler running all my samples, and i'm thinking of giving R a rest for a while, and using something else, but if both instances can be running at the same time, and they can sync correctly (and of course, both use Jack correctly), then I may be able to work something out with splitting my orchestra in half, and working in adjacent desktops. Alex. [EDIT] Never mind, i just tried it. Reaper-1 and Reaper-2. When i try to open Reaper-2 in a terminal, it tells me it's reverting to the already running instance and stops. Worth a try!
