open a terminal window- -you can find an icon by the start menu lower left of the screen.  its the last icon to the right so the fourth one, right after the folder icon.

hold down ctrl and shift and then tap the + button to enlarge the terminal window and the text in it so its easier to see. 

then copy and paste the commands below but dont hit enter yet.  you can only paste using right click > paste while you are in terminal.  you can copy and execute more than one line of code, for example the next 4 lines can be copied and pasted together.

 

cd

rm reaper*.tar.xz

rm -rf reaper_linux_aarch64

wget https://www.reaper.fm/files/6.x/reaper668_linux_aarch64.tar.xz

 

make sure the version- -reaper668- -you are attempting to upgrade to is represented correctly in this filename:

 

reaper668_linux_aarch64.tar.xz

 

changing it if you have to before hitting enter.  everything else can be left the same.

 

then run this command:

 

tar -Jxvf reaper*.tar.xz

 

then run this command:

 

cd reaper_linux_aarch64

 

then run this command:

 

sudo ./install-reaper.sh --install /opt --integrate-desktop --usr-local-bin-symlink --quiet

 

and you are done!  but dont forget to take note of the version number when reaper notifies you of and update.  it will only happen once and when you dismiss it you sont be reminded again unfortunately.  Reaper is updated quite often so i do this procedure every time.
