# Installation

Install ace\_buildingmenu on your server.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Place the resource

Copy the `ace_buildingmenu` folder into your `resources` directory.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Add it to `server.cfg`

{% code title="server.cfg" %}

```properties
ensure ace_buildingmenu
```

{% endcode %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Set your squad leaders

The config ships with an example identifier in `Config.Settings.SquadLeaders`. Replace it with your own players' identifiers, or set `OnlySLCanDeployZones = false`. See [Configuration](/docs/tactical-and-military/building-menu/configuration.md#squad-leaders).
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Restart the server

{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="info" %}
The script ships **fully preconfigured**. You only need to edit `Config.lua` to change the defaults.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
This resource streams large props (about **200 MB** in `stream/`). Players download them the first time they join after installation, so expect longer first-time loading.
{% endhint %}
