macOS and Windows Permissions
- File access. Reagent’s file tools work only in certain folders. On macOS, Reagent doesn’t ask for Full Disk Access.
- macOS folder prompts. macOS asks the first time Reagent opens a file in your Documents, Desktop or Downloads folder, or on an external or network drive. Allow access. If you declined, see File Access Problems.
- Running on Windows. Reagent runs without administrator rights. It keeps its data, and by default the Bridge files, in your user folder.
- Installing on Windows. Only for me needs no administrator rights. Anyone who uses this computer (all users) asks for administrator credentials. You can also choose the install folder.
REAPER
Reagent works with REAPER 7.0 or later, on the same computer and user account. Reagent and the Bridge talk through files in your user folder, so Reagent can’t connect to REAPER on another machine. If your REAPER doesn’t use its default resource folder, such as a portable install, point Reagent at it after you install. See REAPER in a Custom Location.SWS Extension
The Quick Start shows the install steps, and SWS Extension Missing lists the symptoms.Wwise (Optional)
- Wwise Authoring 2021.1 or later, on the same computer as Reagent.
- The Wwise Authoring API (WAAPI) turned on, with its ports at the defaults: 8090 (HTTP) and 8080 (WAMP).
Enterprise Accounts
Besides the requirements above, you need:- A model endpoint from your organization. See What the Endpoint Needs.
- Network access from each computer to your endpoint and the services Reagent uses. Where Your Data Goes on Enterprise lists what to allow.
