You will need to add a list entry for your KSP installation here, by clicking the 'Add new' button at the bottom of the window, then navigating to your KSP installation folder in the 'Browse For Folder' window which appears. (I had already set up my own installation of KSP beforehand, you won't be seeing the entry I have in this window at first.) When you first launch CKAN, a window will appear titled 'Select KSP install'. In order to use CKAN it has to be configured to recognize your Kerbal Space Program installation folder(s). If worse comes to worst, perform a Steam integrity check on your copy of KSP and then re-import your saves. It is quite unlikely that problems should arise in your version of KSP after doing this since you've removed all traces of CKAN and basically returned your installation to its default state, but as with any program installation, backing up saves is probably a decent idea. This should wipe CKAN's download cache, settings and leave nothing except ckan.exe on your computer, which you can now delete without problems.

Go to your KSP directory and delete the CKAN folder contained within.

This may mess up saves which have mod dependencies, so keep this in mind.

First, uninstall all mods installed through CKAN.

If for whatever reason you are interested in uninstalling CKAN, I believe the process would be simple:

#KERBAL SPACE PROGRAM STEAM INSTALL#

This is effectively everything you need to do to install it onto your computer, but there is one more step you must go through before CKAN is set up to manage your mods.

exe file will not get lost or deleted over time. I would suggest you copy this file to either the root directory of your KSP installation folder, found via KSP's Properties window (Properties > Local Files > Browse Local Files.) in Steam or to a designated folder where the. 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you can adjust numerous settings, update mods individually or all at once, automatically check for compatibility errors/out-of-date/dead mods, check installed versions, compare them to the latest versions in the database and otherwise streamline your modding experience.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.

#KERBAL SPACE PROGRAM STEAM MAC OS#

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.

#KERBAL SPACE PROGRAM STEAM HOW TO#

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.
