How to install ARK API on your ARK Server

The ARK API mod is a powerful tool that enhances your ARK: Survival Evolved game server by adding new features and customizations. This guide will walk you through the steps to install and manage the ARK API mod on your server. This guide works for ARK: Survival Ascended too!

If you're server is not running on Windows Server then you will need to submit a ticket to our team so we can move you from Linux to Windows, which then allows you to install ARK API on your ARK gaming server.

 

Installation Steps

  1. Access Your Control Panel
    • Log in to your server's control panel interface using your provided credentials.
  2. Stop Your ARK Server
    • It's crucial to stop your ARK server to prevent any conflicts during the installation process. Ensure that the server is not running before proceeding.
  3. Backup Your Server
    • Before making any changes, create a backup of your server data. This backup will allow you to revert to the previous state in case of any issues during the installation.
  4. Locate Mod Manager
    • Inside your control panel, navigate to the "Mod Manager" feature. This is where you manage and install server mods.
  5. Install ARK API Mod
    • In the Mod Manager, search for the ARK API mod and select the "Install" option. This will initiate the installation process for the ARK API mod on your server.
  6. Start Your ARK Server
    • Once the ARK API mod installation is complete, restart your ARK server. This action enables the ARK API mod and prepares your server to utilize its features and customizations.
  7. Verify the Installation
    • Connect to your ARK server to confirm that the ARK API mod is running smoothly. Explore the new features and functionalities it offers to enhance your gameplay experience.

 

Now you can install ARK API plugins on your server!

 

To keep your server up-to-date and ensure compatibility with the latest ARK updates, you can repeat the steps above. Note that if you update ARK using steam update it will uninstall ARK API and you will have to install it again. For updates, we suggest stopping your ARK server then running a backup, click on Steam Update to get the latest ARK patch on your game server and then install ARK API again (it won't require you to reinstall plugins).

 

By following these steps, you can install and manage the ARK API mod on your ARK: Survival Evolved server, enhancing your server's capabilities  and providing new features for your players to enjoy. For any specific questions or issues related to the ARK API mod, consult the mod's documentation or seek assistance from the ARK modding community.
