- Navigate to the Wabbanode Control Panel and Stop your server.
- Click the Settings tab and select Arma 3 Server Settings.
- Locate the Mods field and enter your mods in the format
@mod1;@mod2;@mod3..
- Click Save and Start your server.

@CBA_A3;@ace;@RHSUSAF;@RHSAFRF
Finding Mod Names
- Go to the Arma 3 Steam Workshop.
- Find the mod you want to install.
- The mod folder name is typically shown in the mod's description or can be found after subscribing.
