# Deploy an Arma Reforger server on the Game Panel

## Objective

The Game Panel lets you deploy an Arma Reforger server in a few steps. The panel handles the installation automatically, including port configuration.

**This guide explains how to deploy and connect to an Arma Reforger server on the Game Panel.**

## Requirements

- A [VPS](https://www.ovhcloud.com/en-gb/vps/) or a [dedicated server](https://www.ovhcloud.com/en-gb/bare-metal/) in your OVHcloud account with the Game Panel feature enabled.
- Access to the Game Panel. Refer to [Log in to the Game Panel](/en/guides/bare-metal-cloud/virtual-private-servers/game-panel-log-in/index.md).

## Instructions

### Step 1 — Access the Game Panel

Log in to your Game Panel. From the left-hand menu, go to the `Game Servers`
 section and click `Add Game Server
`.
### Step 2 — Create an Arma Reforger server

Select **Arma Reforger** from the game list. A configuration window opens.

### Step 4 — Launch the installation

Click `Install
` to launch the deployment.
### Step 5 — Monitor the installation
