Unzip to a desired location on your hard drive.
Run the RustyServerInstaller.bat file.
Once your Rust server is installed, make sure to select OPTION 1 when it asks you to load a procedural map or a custom map. You want to run the procedural map first!
You can edit the startup parameters of your rust server by editing the JSON files in the root directory. If you want to use a custom map, be sure that the levelurl value is set to the absolute path including drive letter to your map file if its on your local machine. Relative paths will not work.
Good:
F:\Gaming\RustServer\.serverscript\RustyServerInstall\CustomMaps\NoobIslandV3_5.map
Bad:
CustomMaps\NoobislandV3_5.map
You can choose to backup, reinstall, update or wipe files from your server using the main menu. However, to ensure that things do not break, STOP or QUIT your server first. This will ensure that no rollbacks, or corrupted files will be in your server.
