# Installing Mods and Plugins on your Counter Strike 2 Server

Information on Installing Mods and Plugins on Your counter Strike 2 Server

## Summary

Installing plugins lets you expand your Counter-Strike 2 server’s functionality with new features, automation tools, and custom gameplay mechanics. ChipHead’’s CS2 servers fully support plugin installation through **CounterStrikeSharp** and **Metamod**.

## Enabling Plugin Support

Before installing plugins, you’ll need to enable plugin support from your ChipHead Panel:

1.  Log in to your **ChipHead Panel**
    
2.  Stop your server.
    
3.  Go to the Game **Config** tab.

4.  Find the option **Enable Metamod & CounterStrikeSharp** and set it to **Enabled**.

-   Upload the **AutoChangeMap** folder to: `/game/csgo/addons/counterstrikesharp/plugins`
    
-   Restart your server.
    

## Verifying Plugin Installation
