# Eggs

An ''egg'' is a file which tells Pterodactyl ''how'' to install, launch, and manage whatever application the egg is advertising to be installable. It gives Pterodactyl the commands necessary to download server files, instructions on how to setup the environment for the software appropriately, and what configuration options should be available to server operators.<ref>For example, for the Arma server, it's egg tells Pterodactyl's GUI to provide an option to change the server's modlist. It maps the input made on the GUI to the relevant configuration file on the server.</ref>

* If you ''see the egg in the list'', skip to step X of this page.

* If you ''do '''NOT''' see the egg in the list'', proceed to step 2.
