Issues With Getting Umod (Oxide) Installed
Posted 1 year ago

Howdy there I've recently taken interest in a lightweight singleplayer experiance in rust but ive came across some issues with getting Oxide setup Ill explain my Problems here:
Oxide Either Cant compile / Oxide Generated files are not showing up in the file explorer after server boot.
When making sure Oxide is even installed correctly I run `oxide.version` and it returns command not found. the server only boots into a vanilla server. 

>oxide.version
// Comand 'oxide.version' not found

Do I need to be logged into SteamCMD to enable mods?  

I've re-installed the Rust Dedicated Server already and that not helping. I've also installed the umod agent with powershell and then installed the umod setup for my server directory with no success. I then ran the `umod launch -p` command and it still boots into the default vanilla server.

Hey, the uMod agent is not something you want to use, you want to install Oxide from the https://umod.org/games/rust page and unzip the files into your server directory.

Make sure your startup script doesn't automatically update your server because this will overwrite Oxide causing it to not work.

Ahh okay I'll have to retry it here in a bit and see if that was the Issue I did get it to work though by using a tool called "Rust Server Tool" (Rust Server Tool - Tools - Codefling) and it makes it easy to install Umod/Oxide after the server has been installed. I'll update here in a bit and see if the updating was the issue.
