Manual Installation Guide
This section will cover how to manually install Jötunn, without using a mod manager. This guide applies to client installations as well as installations on a dedicated server, though paths on a dedicated server installation might vary slighty depending on the server's operating system.
0. Installing BepInEx
Before we even start, be sure that you have BepInEx downloaded and installed correctly. (If you have any other mods or rented a "modding enabled" server, odds are you'll have this installed.)

You can tell it worked by looking at the console output, which, depending on your environment, should look something like this, telling you it loaded BepInEx and Jötunn:
