How to Install EXILED Plugins on Your SCP: Secret Laboratory Server

EXILED is the most popular plugin framework for SCP: Secret Laboratory and must be installed before any plugins can be loaded.

Prerequisite: EXILED

EXILED is usually pre-installed by hosting providers. If that is not the case on your server, you can find the official installation guide on the EXILED GitHub page.

Install a plugin

  1. Download the plugin
    Download the .dll file of the plugin you want to install — usually from the GitHub release page of the plugin developer.

  2. Stop the server
    Stop your server via the dashboard.

  3. Connect via SFTP
    Connect to your server via SFTP.

  4. Upload the plugin
    Upload the .dll file to the following directory:

    /.config/EXILED/Plugins/
    /.config/EXILED/Plugins/
  5. Start the server
    Start your server via the dashboard. EXILED will load the plugin automatically on start-up.

Configure a plugin

After a plugin is loaded for the first time, EXILED generates its configuration file automatically under:

/.config/EXILED/Configs/
/.config/EXILED/Configs/
  1. Edit the configuration
    Open the configuration file of your plugin and adjust the values to your liking.

  2. Restart the server
    Restart your server so the changes take effect.

Warning

The plugin version must match the installed EXILED version. If the versions do not match, the plugin will fail to load or cause errors on server start.

Tip

Install plugins one at a time and test the server start after each new plugin. This makes it much easier to spot conflicts or incompatibilities.
