# Getting Started
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
## **Before getting started**
|
||
BeamMP is only compatible with legitimate, Steam versions of the game. "Cracked" copies are not supported.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## **Installation**
|
||
|
||
BeamMP is natively compatible only with Windows at the moment.
|
||
|
||
### **Windows Installation**
|
||
1. Go to [beammp.com](https://beammp.com/) and click the "Download client" button.
|
||
2. Extract the `BeamMP_Installer.zip` archive.
|
||
3. Launch `BeamMP_Installer.exe` and follow the instructions.
|
||
4. The BeamMP Launcher icon should appear on your desktop. If not, just search for “BeamMP” in the windows search bar.
|
||
5. Once the launcher has started, you should see a terminal window, shortly after BeamNG.drive should automatically start. **Do not** close the terminal window.
|
||
6. After BeamNG launched, in the main menu, click the `Repository` button and make sure that `multiplayerbeammp` is **the only** enabled mod.
|
||
7. Return to the main menu and click the 'Multiplayer' button to start multiplayer.
|
||
8. You will be prompted to login or play as a guest (not all servers will allow guests). You can create an account on our [forum](https://forum.beammp.com) and then login to BeamMP with the same credentials.
|
||
9. Select any server you like, and press `Connect`. Enjoy!
|
||
|
||
Note: _As you are loading into a map with multiple vehicles spawned it might take longer than expected to join._
|
||
|
||
## **Linux Installation**
|
||
|
||
BeamMP should work with `wine`, but is not officially supported (yet).
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
## **Known Issues**
|
||
- If you don’t see the “Multiplayer” button. Make sure that the BeamMP mod is present and activated in the “Mod Manager” then try pressing CTRL + L.
|
||
- VPNs of any type may cause connection issues.
|
||
- If the Launcher reports any errors, read the [FAQ](https://forum.beammp.com/c/faq/35).
