How to install addons

Addon pages should generally have instructions on how to install, but here's a basic method for most addons

  • Put the parent folder (parent)/lua/..etc.. (parent)/materials/..etc.. into /garrysmods/garrymods/addons on your server.
  • This will work for most addons, look for install instructions on the addon page.

How to install gamemodes
