== Windows ==
This method uses SteamCMD and expects basic knowledge of the command line.
# Install [https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/SteamCMD SteamCMD]
# Open the SteamCMD executable file and let it initialize itself
# Run <code>force_install_dir</code> followed by the install path you'd like to install the server to. For this example the server will be installed to C:\VectorStrikeServer. This path is NOT recommended and is for example purposes only. Please locate a memorable, organized place to put the server. Full command would be <code>force_install_dir "C:\VectorStrikeServer"</code>
# Log in to Steam Public with <code>login anonymous</code>, this game has no restriction on hosting.
# Run <code>app_update 3675450</code>. This should install all the files to the previously set install dir.
# Locate the now installed server, right click MercuryServer.exe and click Create shortcut. Change the properties of the shortcut so the target has <code>-log</code><ref>This ensures that the server is VISIBLE when opened instead of running in the background. Running in the background is heavily discouraged as it can lead to multiple instances being opened without knowing.</ref> at the end. The target field should now look something like this <code>C:\VectorStrikeServer\MercuryServer.exe -log</code>. Please note that the path will differ depending on where the server was installed.
# This shortcut can now be moved anywhere, renamed, and ran. This will open the server.

== Linux ==
The SteamCMD depot does not contain any Linux server files at this point. Basic Linux CLI knowledge is expected. Installation has to be done manually.
# Install the files from [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1c5hGp6n0R0sWsyf3pMO8lfavjv_hyQCW/view this link]
# Extract the ZIP somewhere memorable, and cd into the LinuxServer folder.
# Congratulations, you can now run the server in the terminal by running <code>sh MercuryServer.sh</code> or <code>bash MercuryServer.sh</code>. Pretty simple.
More complex setup can be done to [https://docs.docker.com/get-started/docker-overview/ dockerize] or run the server in [https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/getting-started-systemctl systemctl] but this will not be covered here.
