Instrument plugins interface with your DAW through one of a handful of standards. Steinberg's '''VST''' is a standard supported by many DAWs. AudioUnit ('''AU''') is widely supported on macOS. '''AAX''' is used by ProTools, and '''RTAS''' was used in ProTools until version 10. '''LV2''' is an open-source plugin format commonly supported on Linux. Put simply, you should check your DAW's user manual to see what kind of plugins you can run.
