Hello everyone!

I'm new to Oxide and Linux in general but I've finally managed to get a server up and running.  I'm using lgsm and was sucessfully able to install rustoxide to my server.  However, I cannot find any information regarding plugin installation that doesn't refer to just adding the plugin files to a specific directory.  How would one install plugins into the correct directoy using the CLI?  I do not currently have any FTP software but if that is the only option, kindly let me know and I'll begin work on that.  Any information is greatly appreciated.

wget or curl are what you'd use via your Linux shell/terminal if you want to use CLI only, but you could use SFTP (not the same as FTP) if you have shell access generally to upload them directly from your filesystem. If you aren't sure how to use wget, curl, or SFTP; I'd recommend looking at a few tutorials found around the net.

Wow thanks for the fast reply!  I think that wget is going to be my only option besides FTP becasue I'm using google compute engine to host a debian VM and GUI isn't even supported.  I don't want to use CLI, I just have to haha.  so for example, if I wanted the gather manager plugin, would I do wget https://umod.org/plugins/gather-manager ?  I'm unsure about how the syntax of the wget command works.

The download URL can be copied from the plugin's page. If you have an SSH login, you can generally use an SFTP client and drag-drop files to upload them.

Awesome!  I'm going to do some homework and I'll let you know how it goes.  Thanks again!

Great success!  Thanks so much for the link!  There is a ton of great stuff on that website. 

Hey, I was wondering, is there anything I could do to help with creating an updated tutorial for LGSM/Oxide installations on google compute engine based linux systems?  It isn't quite as intuitive as other VM hosting platfoms but it offers a decent amount of free credit and 1 year free when you sign up.  I found that most of the tutorials are outdated at this point and none cover how to setup on google.  Additionally, 99% of tutorials that are available for running rust dedicated are windows based.  I think that a new, comprehensive guide to installing lgsm would be useful to new prospective server hosters and would save them the trouble of following a frankentutorial.  

Love the site, thanks again for your help today.

I'm sure we can provide something like that down the road once someone has time to write one.
