6 - Optional: Copy config_player.xml

7 - Done! Now run DedicatedServer.exe to run the modded server or run Barotrauma.exe to run the modded client.<br>

### Linux notice
Sometimes you will get steam initialization errors, most of the time it's because it's missing the linux64/steamclient.so binary, so you can just copy the binary from your steam instalation over to the folder and it should work.



## Checking if everything is working

If the commands `reloadlua` or `cl_reloadlua` work, it means you successfully installed the mod.
