# Eggs

== 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>

== Step 0: Does the panel already have the egg? ==

The first thing we want to do is see if we ~~''already~~ have the egg~~''. If we do, things get much simpler~~.

The first thing we want to do is see if we currently have the egg or not.

You will be greeted with the following list (or similar looking list).

[[File:Pterodactyl list of nests.png|none|thumb|820x820px|''List of Pterodactyl egg nests.'']]

The term ''nest'' ~~means exactly what you think it means~~. ~~You can click~~ into the ~~lists~~ and ~~find~~ the ~~relevant game~~ software ~~that~~ you~~'d like~~ to ~~install~~.

The term ''nest'' is fairly self-explanatory. Click into the nests and see if an egg for the software you want to spin up is present.
