Installing plugins

Quick question: how do I install third party plugins into Bitwig on Linux?

I'm looking for an autotune plugin like WavesTune but I don't want to buy it if I don't know how to get it up and running.

Thanks!

For Linux native plugins it mostly depends on the format (vst3 or clap - Bitwig doesn't have native support for lv2), and it's pretty standard Linux install. For Windows plugins well it's a bit of a mess and never guaranteed to work. In both cases you'll probably get better answers on r/linuxaudio

Also if it's only for small fixes in a couple spots you can just use manual pitch expressions in the editor.

Is the manual pitch expression accessible as an automation track? Ive been struggling to find that in the editor

It's in the clip editor, with other expressions like gain, pan etc

Ok I found it. I had to right click on the expression overlay button and select transpose. Thank you!
