# What is Torch?
|
|
Torch is the successor to SE Server Extender and gives server admins the tools they need to keep their Space Engineers servers running smoothly. It features a user interface with live management tools and a plugin system so you can run your server exactly how you'd like. Torch is still in early development so there may be bugs and incomplete features.

### Installation
|
|
|
|
* Get the latest Torch release here: https://torchapi.net/download
|
|
* Unzip the Torch release into its own directory and run the executable. It will automatically download the SE DS and generate the other necessary files.

|
- If you already have a DS installed you can unzip the Torch files into the folder that contains the DedicatedServer64 folder.

# Building
|
|
To build Torch you must first have a complete SE Dedicated installation somewhere. Before you open the solution, run the Setup batch file and enter the path of that installation's DedicatedServer64 folder. The script will make a symlink to that folder so the Torch solution can find the DLL references it needs.
