 3. Ensure that all submodules are initialized by running `git submodule update --init --recursive`. Then change into the cloned directory by running `cd BeamMP-Server`.
-4. Checkout the branch of the release you want to compile (`master` is often unstable), for example `git checkout tags/v1.20` for version 1.20. You can find the latest version [here](https://github.com/BeamMP/BeamMP-Server/tags).

 5. Run `cmake . -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release` (with `.`)
 6. Run `make`
 7. You will now have a `BeamMP-Server` file in your directory, which is executable with `./BeamMP-Server` (`.\BeamMP-Server.exe` for windows). Follow the (windows or linux, doesnt matter) instructions on the [wiki](https://wiki.beammp.com/en/home/Server_Mod) for further setup after installation (which we just did), such as port-forwarding and getting a key to actually run the server.
