DarkRP is the most widely used roleplay gamemode for Garry's Mod. The Host Havoc game panel includes a one-click installer for it. After installing, you also need to edit your command line to set DarkRP as the active gamemode.

1. Log in to your Game Control Panel.

2. Open the Non-Workshop Mods section.

3. Click Install next to the DarkRP entry and wait for the installation to complete.

4. Click the Commandline Manager icon.

5. Switch to the Custom Commandlines tab.

6. Click an existing command line to edit it, or click New to create one.

7. Set the Gamemode field to darkrp (lowercase, no quotes).

8. Save the command line and click Select to activate it.

Your server will now launch DarkRP on the next start. To install additional addons that extend DarkRP, see Force Players to Download Workshop Addons.
