# How to Install Harmony Mods on your Rust Server

Information on How to Install Harmony Mods on your Rust Server

Rust servers are shipped with the game’s built-in modding framework, Harmony, already included. This makes installing Harmony-based mods more straightforward compared to the external setup required for Oxide/uMod. Because it’s integrated into the base game, there’s a wide selection of available mods, both free and paid, allowing server owners to pick options that best suit their needs and preferences.
