Installation

This section is dedicated for a new installation of |SIT|. If you're looking to update SIT, click :ref:`here<updatesitm>`.

Getting started

|EFT| requirements

  • You need a legally purchased copy of |EFT|, obtainable here.
  • You need to install the game using the official game launcher.
  • You need to run the game at least once using the official game launcher.

Warning

  • DON'T move your original EFT game folder following the installation.
  • DON'T change any of the files in your original EFT game folder.
  • YOU MUST run LIVE Tarkov at least once. If you don't, you forfeit all of you're mortal possessions to my dog.
  • DON'T install SIT in your original EFT game folder. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
  • ALWAYS make sure you are able to run the game using the official game launcher before using SIT.
  • DON'T take shortcuts. Follow this step by step. If you haven't, you will be MOCKED

Preparing the folder structure

Create the following folder structure on the drive of your choice, as long as it has enough space for |EFT|. The drive should have at least 60GB free space.

Warning

DO NOT install the manager in a protected directory such as system32, Program Files, and Program Files (x86), If you do I will steal your Hard Drive platters and sell them for Freddos

SIT/
├── Game/
├── Server/
└── Launcher/
Example directory layoutimages/DirectoryExample.png

|brs|

Note

It is recommended to use this folder structure for a SIT installation. Note that the rest of the documentation will refer to that structure.

Below is the steps to install the SIT Manager, which as of version 2.0.8856.37884 can automagically copy your Live |EFT| folder into a folder of your choice REMEMBER THE :ref:`FILE STRUCTURE<filestruct>`

Installing |SITM|

Note

It is HIGHLY recommended to use the |SITM| to install |SIT| as it HIGHLY simplifies the process and is almost completley automatic. It also provides us with valuble log files, :strike:`they taste great`, they help us solve issues you may encounter as well. Manual intall intructions are provided but should be AVOIDED wherever possible

  1. Download the latest |SITM| from Github
  2. Extract the files from the .zip into |LDIR|

   :loop:

  1. For sake of convinience, you can make a Shortcut to the manager on your desktop, since you need this EVERY time you join a server

   :loop:

  1. Now open the manager and Navigate to "Install" page
  2. Press "Install SIT"
  3. Select the latest version (Should be Auto-Selected)
  4. Press "Change" on EFT Install path, which right now is pointing to your LIVE install, and change it to |GDIR|
  5. Press "Start Install"
  6. Wait a bit for the Manager to copy your game files and install the SIT mod
  7. Once this is complete, SIT has been successfully installed to your client. Head to :ref:`Finishing up<finishingup>` to finish the install process, or to :ref:`Server Install<serverinst>` if you plan on hosting a server

Updating |SITM|

Note

The |SITM| handles updating for you, all you need to do is press "Update" at the top of the manager when you boot it. It will automatically check for a new version on boot and offer to update if it is out of date. A small example can be found below

Installing |SIT| Server

Local Install

Note

The steps outlined below are for installing the server locally on your PC. If you would like to install this as a Docker instance follow the steps outlined in :ref:`Installing Server With Docker <dockerinstall>`

Make sure the person installing the server, if they are installing it on their local machine, is the one with the most powerful PC and best Network otherwise performance may be Sub-optimal.

This applies to both hosting the AKI server, and Hosting the raid, more on that later in the guide.

  1. Open the |SITM|
  2. Go to "Install"
  3. Click "Install Server + SIT Mod"
  4. Change the path to your |SDIR| path
  5. Click "Start Install"
  6. Once that completes, Navigate to "Server"
  7. Start the server and wait for the "Server started!" message
    • If you get a pop-up from "Windows Firewall" with the server asking to be allowed through, like :ref:`this <firewall>`, then please click "Allow Access" this will allow the server through your local firewall and make our lives a bit easier, a short clip is exampled below the image
  8. Stop the server, this allows it to generate all relevant configs
  9. Once you have done that, head over to :ref:`Finishing Up<finishingup>` to continue

Installing Server With Docker

Note

These steps are for if you want to run the server in a docker instance. IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT DOCKER IS THIS ISN'T FOR YOU

We provide a pre-made Linux Docker instance of the |SIT| server, found at this Docker Hub

Installation instructions are also found there, we may update here to add them at some point, but for now the Docker hub has all the info you'll need

Install Video will be here soon`:tm:`

Finishing Up

Once you have completed installation, if you plan to join other players, head :ref:`here<clientinst>`, if you want to host then head :ref:`here<netconfigure>`.

Installing manually

Warning

  • It is strongly recommended to use |SITM| to install |SIT|.
  • Even if |SIT| is manually installed, you will still need to use the |SITM| to connect to servers so this should only be done as a last resort.
  1. COPY your Live |EFT| files into the |GDir| folder
  2. Download BepInEx.
  3. Extract BepInEx to your \SIT\Game\ folder.
  4. Create a new folder at the path \SIT\Game\BepInEx\ called plugins.
  5. Download the latest Stay In Tarkov release.
  6. Extract the StayInTarkov.dll file to your \SIT\Game\BepInEx/plugins folder.
  7. Extract the Assembly-CSharp.dll file to \SIT\Game\EscapeFromTarkov_Data\Managed and replace the file when prompted.
