How to Install Mods on a DayZ Server

There are two methods to install mods on your DayZ server: via modlist file (easier) or manually (for more control).

Method 1: Modlist File

This method is the easiest and recommended for most users.

Launch DayZ and select Mods
Start DayZ and click on Mods.
Enable desired mods
Enable all mods you want on your server.
Export modlist
Click on More and select Export list of mods to a file.
Export only loaded mods
Choose Only loaded mods and save the .html file.
Stop the server
Stop your server via the dashboard.
Upload modlist
Connect to your server via SFTP and upload the .html file as modlist.html.
Configure modlist
Go to Settings in your dashboard and enter the filename under Modlist File (Exported from DayZ Launcher). By default, modlist.html is already set.
Start the server
Start your server.

This method offers more control and is required for server-side only mods.

Subscribe to the mod in Steam Workshop
Open Steam, select DayZ from your library and go to the Workshop tab. Subscribe to your desired mod.

Launch DayZ
Start DayZ so the mods are downloaded.
Open mod folder
Go to Mods, select a mod and click on the three dots. Choose Open folder.
Compress mods
Compress the desired mod folders (starting with @) into a .zip file.
Stop the server
Stop your server via the dashboard.
Upload mod archive
Connect to your server via SFTP and upload the .zip file.
Extract archive
Extract the .zip file on the server.
Copy bikey files
Open the mod folder and navigate to the Keys subfolder. Download all .bikey files and upload them to the /keys folder on your server.
Activate mods
Go to Settings in your dashboard and enter the mod names under Additional Mods, separated by semicolons:
```
@CF;@ModName1;@ModName2
```

Problem	Solution
Server won't start	Check if all mod names are entered correctly
Mod Mismatch	Players must have the same mods installed
Signature error	Check if all `.bikey` files are in the `/keys` folder
