=== a. Finding the egg ===

The following locations are ~~commonly used to find~~ eggs:

The following locations are recommended for finding eggs:

* https://pelican-eggs.github.io/pterodactyl/ (Option 1)

~~For the sake of this guide~~, ~~let's pretend we want~~ to ~~spin up a ''Mordhau'' server~~. On the ''Option 1'' list, we ~~find~~ ''Mordhau's'' entry ~~leads~~ to ~~a page with~~ raw text~~. This page is~~ the egg ~~in it's raw form: a JSON file~~. ~~The entirety of this page's contents should be saved to your computer as a~~ <code>~~.json~~</code> ~~file. The advised way is to right click~~ on the ~~page~~ and ~~select~~ <code>~~Save as~~</code>.

Regardless as to where an egg is found, it will always be a JSON file. This JSON file will be uploaded directly to Pterodactyl. For example, on the ''Option 1'' list, when we select ''Mordhau's'' entry, we are sent to the raw text of the egg. Right click and select <code>Save as</code> on your browser, or copy the contents into a new text file and change the extension to <code>.json</code>.

=== b. Installing the egg ===

Now, we going to take the egg and upload it to our Pterodactyl instance. Once done, EDC has this egg forever, and it will be possible boot up and terminate it's associated application at will.

== Step 2: Spin up server ==

So, we either just installed our desired egg, or we found that the egg already exists. Let's try to launch the application.
