How to install custom addons to a Garry's Mod server


Summary
Uploading Garry's Mod server addons helps server owners customize their servers to their exact preferences. Addons can either increase the moderation capabilities or add fun mini-games to servers. Custom addons are typically installed outside of the Steam Workshop; as a result, users should be careful and consider the user providing any unknown files before installing them on a server, as some addons can contain malicious code.

Note Custom addons can contain malicious code; generally, safe websites are curated, such as the GmodStore and Steam Workshop.
