  1. Select user*
  2. Select roblox’s version*
  3. Save to BuiltInPlugins directory.

* No files are saved on these steps.

Place repositories

The default repository for SourceMan is the ReplicatedStorage, however that can be changed by a few ways:

  • Create a new Folder there called “DefaultRepository”.
  • Create a new ObjectValue there with the name “DefaultRepository” with a valid value to the instance you wish to store your sources.
  • Install the ModMan add-on. *

*ModMan

ModMan is a small module to require modules by their id or name, if they’re available for the current node and either placed in a repository or tagged by the CollectionService.
