How to install DarkRP to your Garry's Mod server

DarkRP is a widely popular gamemode within the Garry's Mod community because of the crazy antics and mischief it allows for players.

DOWNLOAD DARKRP

Firstly you'll want to download the official DarkRP files from GitHub which will be placed on your server. You can do this by following these steps:

  1. Navigate to DarkRP's GitHub page.
  2. Click the green Code button, then Download ZIP.
  3. Extract the files into a directory called darkrp to a familiar location like your Desktop.
  4. Using an FTP, navigate to garrysmod/gamemodes.
  5. Upload the folder darkrp to the above FTP directory.

RUNNING DARKRP

Now that the files are placed into your server, you have to edit the startup settings to run the server in DarkRP gamemode. You can do that by following these steps:

  1. Login to your control panel.
  2. Click on the Files > Config Files tab on the left.
  3. Open the Garry's Mod Server Settings config file.
  4. Change the value of Gamemode Name to darkrp instead of sandbox.
  5. Save and restart your server!
