# ️ How to Install Mods on Your Server ️

After you set up the mods on your client, you will have to also add them to your server, as shown below:

1. Go to the Steam Workshop page for Arma 3 mods [here](https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/browse/?appid=107410&browsesort=toprated&section=readytouseitems&requiredtags%5B%5D=Mod).

—

2. Find the mod you want and note its ID, which can be found at the end of the link.


—

3. Log in to your game server panel [here](https://amp.ggservers.com), click on your Arma 3 instance, then click on `Manage`.


—

4. Click on `Configuration`, then on `SteamCMD and Updates`.


—

5. Find the `Steam workshop items` section and click on `Add`.


—

6. Fill in the mod ID that you want to add, then click `OK`.


—

7. Click on `Configuration`, then on `Arma Server Settings`.


—

8. Find the `Load Mods` and the `Load Server Mods` sections. Now paste the mod ID in the two sections according to its type (client mod or server mod). If you want to add more mods, just put a semicolon (`;`) between them. The changes will be automatically saved when you modify the text box.

|| ⚠ **NOTE **⚠: The mod type (client or server mod) can be found on the Steam Workshop page of the mod under the `Data Type` section. If you see `Server` under the data type, then you need to add it to the `Load Server Mods` section.

9. Go back, click on `Status`, then on `Update`. After the server gets updated, the mods will be downloaded as well, so you can start it now by hitting `Start`.
