# Preparing your addon on the backend⤶
The first step is to make an addon on the backend by logging into the [Dev Site](https://sbox.facepunch.com/dev) and going to the `Add Content` section on your organization.⤶

Your download can be provided as either a github repository link or a direct zip upload by switching the Download type appropriately.⤶

# Notes for file structure etc:⤶
* The map can't be in a subfolder after /maps. So paths such as /maps/my_map/my_map.vpk are **not valid**.⤶
* The addon shortname needs to be the **exact same** as the vpk name.⤶
* The root directory (zip or repo) should directly contain folders such as /maps, /materials, /models etc, no other subfolders before these.⤶

<warning>Renaming a vpk file will break it! You'll need to either recompile your map under a new name or upload it to a new addon if there is a naming mismatch.</warning>
