# AudioUnit Validation (auval)
## Plugin Install Locations
AudioUnits **must** be registered with the system for `auval` to find them — it does not accept a file path.
### AUv2 (.component)
| Location | Scope |
|----------|-------|
| `~/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/` | Current user only |
| `/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/` | All users (requires admin) |
After installing or rebuilding, force a rescan: `killall -9 AudioComponentRegistrar`
