     CD "C:\Users\nicole.rappe\Downloads"
     .\Install_Certificate.ps1
     ```

+## SteamCMD Deployment Script
+You will need to make a folder somewhere on the computer, such as the desktop, and name it something like "ARK Updater", then put the following script into it:
+
+```jsx title="Update_Server.bat"
+@echo off
+set STEAMCMDDIR="C:\SteamCMD\"
+set SERVERDIR="C:\ASAServer\"
+set ARKAPPID=2430930
+cd /d %STEAMCMDDIR%
+del steamcmd.exe
+timeout /t 5 /nobreak
+curl -o steamcmd.zip https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/client/installer/steamcmd.zip
+powershell Expand-Archive -Path .\steamcmd.zip -DestinationPath .\
+start "" /wait steamcmd.exe +force_install_dir "%SERVERDIR%" +login anonymous +app_update %ARKAPPID% validate +quit
+exit
+```
+
+## Launch Script
+Now you need to configure a launch script to actually start the dedicated server.  This can be placed anywhere, but I suggest putting it into `C:\asaserver\ShooterGame\Saved` along with the world save data.
+
+```jsx title="Launch_Server.bat"
+@echo off
+start C:\asaserver\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ArkAscendedServer.exe ScorchedEarth_WP?listen?SessionName=BunnyLab?Port=7777?QueryPort=27015?ServerPassword=SomethingSecure?ServerAdminPassword=SomethingVerySecure -WinLiveMaxPlayers=50 -log -crossplay-enable-pc -crossplay-enable-wingdk -mods=928548,928621,928597,928818,929543,937546,930684,930404,940022,941697,930851,948051,932365,929420,967786,930494

+!!! tip "Adding Mods"
+    When you are adding mods, you will notice they are found on [CurseForge](https://www.curseforge.com/ark-survival-ascended).   When you are looking for the mod ID, it is actually listed under CurseForge as the `Project ID`.  Just copy that number and put it in a comma-separated list such as what is seen in the example above.
