# SPT-AKI setup guide
|
|
|
|
This guide covers the installation process for any of the releases of SPT-AKI since version `alpha-r6`.
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
To install SPT-AKI on your system you need the following:
|
|
|
|
* A legal copy of [Escape From Tarkov](https://www.escapefromtarkov.com/preorder-page)
|
|
* Microsoft [.NET 5.0 Runtime (64bits)](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/thank-you/runtime-5.0.0-windows-x64-installer)
|
|
* [Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013](https://www.microsoft.com/en-ie/download/details.aspx?id=40784)
|
|
* Up to data for [DirectX End-User Runtimes](https://www.microsoft.com/en-ie/download/details.aspx?id=35)
|
|
|
|
## Install SPT-AKI
|
|
|
|
### Checking compatibility
|
|
|
|
* Start the official Escape from Tarkov launcher (BSG Launcher) and check the game version, located on the bottom right corner of the launcher.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Go to the [SPT-AKI releases page](https://mods.sp-tarkov.com/files/category-file-list/58-releases/) and download the release compatible with that version.
|
|
|
|
<!-- FIXME: use actual screenshot -->
|
|
|
|
|
|
If for any reason there is no compatible release is available for your game version, you will need to wait until SPT-AKI is updated to support the latest Escape from Tarkov version.
|
|
|
|
> **Info**\
|
|
> A release of SPT-AKI is only compatible with a specific Escape From Tarkov game version due to the fact that some parts of the game's code are changing with each patch. If an uncompatible client/release combo is used, the game won't be able to start or work properly.
|
|
|
|
### Preparing the client
|
|
|
|
Now that you've made sure that you're using a compatible game version and SPT-AKI release you will go ahead and create the basis for SPT-AKI to work.
|
|
|
|
* Create a new `SPT-AKI` folder where you want it to be located.
|
|
|
|
> **Note**\
|
|
> For this guide we will use `C:\Games\SPT-AKI` as the location for our install. As such, our screenshot might reflect it, but you are free to install it wherever you want.
|
|
|
|
* Go to your Escape from Tarkov installation folder.
|
|
* Copy the `EFT (live)` folder content and paste it into the `SPT-AKI` folder you just created.
|
|
|
|
You should now have a folder looking like the screenshot below:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You now have created a copy of your regular Escape from Tarkov installation to avoid any unfortunate mishaps and potential ban, were you to install SPT-AKI over your main EFT install.
|
|
|
|
### Installing the release
|
|
|
|
You've made sure to have a compatible game version, created a copy of your EFT install and you're now ready to finally install the SPT-AKI release you downloaded earlier.
|
|
|
|
To do so:
|
|
|
|
* Extract the content of the release archive onto your Escape From Tarkov install copy.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* When asked if files should be replaced, select `Replace the files in the destination`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You now have an SPT-AKI installation ready to use. Your install folder should look like the one in the screenshot below:
