Blueprint doesn't mix well with other modifications, so if you already have any, [perform a panel update](https://pterodactyl.io/panel/1.0/updating.html) before moving on with this guide. 2. Navigate to your Pterodactyl folder. (most likely `/var/www/pterodactyl`) 3. Install NodeJS, NPM and Yarn using the following script. This assumes you are running Pterodactyl on Ubuntu or Debian-based systems. ```sh curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_20.x | sudo -E bash - apt-get install -y nodejs npm i -g yarn yarn ``` 4. Download [the latest release of Blueprint](https://github.com/teamblueprint/main/releases/latest) and extract it (stable build) or pull the files via git (bleeding-edge build). 5. If you haven't already, place the Blueprint files inside of your Pterodactyl folder. (common location is `/var/www/pterodactyl`) 6. Run the Blueprint installation script. This runs the commands required for Blueprint to function correctly. If your Pterodactyl folder is not `/var/www/pterodactyl` you may need to put `_FOLDER="/path/to/pterodactyl"` in front of `bash blueprint.sh`. ```sh chmod +x blueprint.sh bash blueprint.sh ``` 7. After waiting for the installation script to finish, open up your Pterodactyl admin panel and click on the puzzle icon in the top right of the website. ### Development We've made some guides and documentation for extension development over on [GitBook](https://ptero.shop/docs). We are adding more guides over time, don't hesitate to suggest a topic for future guides. ### Extensions [Open an issue](https://github.com/teamblueprint/main/issues) on GitHub to get your extension listed here. To install an extension, upload your `something.blueprint` file to your Pterodactyl folder and run `blueprint -install something`. **Announcements**: [PterodactylMarket](https://pterodactylmarket.com/resource/679), [sourceXchange](https://www.sourcexchange.net/products/announcements), [BuiltByBit](https://builtbybit.com/resources/announcements-for-blueprint.32546/)\ **Arc.io Integration**: [BuiltByBit](https://builtbybit.com/resources/pterodactyl-v1-addon-arc-integration.32109/)\ **Cats**: [sourceXchange](https://www.sourcexchange.net/products/cats)\ **Cookies**: [sourceXchange](https://www.sourcexchange.net/products/cookies)\ **dbEdit**: [GitHub](https://github.com/prplwtf/blueprint-dbedit)\ **Loader**: [sourceXchange](https://www.sourcexchange.net/products/loader)\ **Nebula**: [PterodactylMarket](https://pterodactylmarket.com/resource/698), [sourceXchange](https://www.sourcexchange.net/products/nebula), [BuiltByBit](https://builtbybit.com/resources/nebula-for-blueprint.32442/)\ **Recolor**: [GitHub](https://github.com/sp11rum/recolor), [sourceXchange](https://www.sourcexchange.net/products/announcements)\ **Redirect**: [PterodactylMarket](https://pterodactylmarket.com/resource/664), [GitHub](https://github.com/prplwtf/blueprint-redirect) ### Contributors [prplwtf](https://github.com/prplwtf) - creator and maintainer\ [ahwxorg](https://github.com/ahwxorg) - contributor\ [alipoyrazaydin](https://github.com/alipoyrazaydin) - contributor\ [sp11rum](https://github.com/sp11rum) - contributor\ [phedona](https://github.com/Phedona) - contributor ### Related Links [**Pterodactyl**](https://pterodactyl.io/) is a free, open-source game server management panel built with PHP, React, and Go.
