Installation

Download PalCommand’s Windows x64 installer from the official download page, which lists release availability and the SHA-256 checksum. Public releases use a signed NSIS .exe installer.

When installing your first server, PalCommand downloads SteamCMD itself. It is never bundled with the app. PalCommand uses it to install the Palworld dedicated server (Steam app ID 2394010, anonymous login, roughly 7-12 GB per install). Before it starts that download, Create checks that the chosen install root’s drive actually has room (a floor of 15 GB free) and refuses with the real free-space number if it doesn’t, instead of failing partway through the download with a bare SteamCMD exit code. Because the Palworld server does not support redirecting its save directory, each managed server gets its own full installation under a user-chosen root (defaulting to a servers folder inside PalCommand’s own per-user data folder, editable with a Browse picker in the create wizard).

For the step-by-step create/install/first-start walkthrough, see Your First Server.

Public installers are Authenticode-signed through Azure Artifact Signing. Windows may still show SmartScreen while publisher reputation builds. Check the installer’s digital signature and the download page’s checksum before installing; a signing or checksum mismatch is a reason to stop and contact support. See App Settings for Windows Firewall prompts.

On its very first launch, and again after any update that changes the licence terms, PalCommand shows a full-screen prompt asking you to accept the end user license agreement before the rest of the app becomes usable. Choosing Exit closes PalCommand without recording acceptance; nothing is installed or changed until you accept. You can reread the agreement any time from App settings → About & help → End-user license agreement.
