It will arrive as a self-contained and portable.

In order to run this program, you will need to first download it from the releases page on the CKAN website at GitHub. It's a good habit to make when modding any game. I'd suggest you back up your saves from vanilla KSP, just in case anything should go wrong. It allows you to combine all of your mods into an easy-to-navigate list where you can adjust numerous settings, update mods individually or all at once, automatically check for compatibility errors/out-of-date/dead mods, check installed versions, compare them to the latest versions in the database and otherwise streamline your modding experience. The Comprehensive Kerbal Archive Network, or CKAN for short, is an open-source repository of metadata about mods for Kerbal Space Program, and associated tools, according to the CKAN website.

This guide's provided as-is and is currently under construction, so check back later for updates! I take no responsibility for any issues you may encounter when installing KSP, CKAN or other end-user modifications to your computer and by using my guide you're agreeing to take responsibility for your own actions.

I have no relation to Kurtjmac, Scott Manley, Squad (the developers of KSP), or the developers of the Comprehensive Kerbal Archive Network software and am providing this guide for informational purposes only. Everything in this guide should be considered unofficial. This is an amateur guide to modding a video game. This guide assumes you are playing in Windows 7/8 as it is the OS I am currently using, although CKAN is available for every current PC platform available: Windows, Mac OS and certain Linux distributions like Fedora and Ubuntu. CKAN's a fascinating program that I've recently encountered myself which should hopefully help you with this process immensely. This is my first published guide on the Steam Community, where I will teach you how to install mods easily in Kerbal Space Program with a little piece of software called CKAN, or the Comprehensive Kerbal Archive Network.Īs great as Squad and the KSP community are when it comes to promoting mod support, resources and experimentation with Kerbal Space Program, I know from personal experience how tedious it can be installing mods for a game.
