The simplest way to get it is through Plugin Alliance's installation manager: download and install the PA Installation Manager from plugin-alliance.com if you do not have it already, then launch it and search for SPL Free Ranger. The manager will automatically serve you the native build on Apple Silicon Macs and handle installation directly into your DAW's plugin folders.
