Once you're ready to share your mod, it's time to test and release it!

==Test on all platforms==
 
−
If you want to test your mod on all platforms, there's some first-time setup you need to get out of the way. Essentially you need to test your mod twice: once on Windows, and again on Linux or Mac. You can do that by testing one version on your computer, and the other in a virtual machine.

===Release your mod===
 
−
Ready to share your mod with the world? Here's how:
 
−
 
 
−
# Open your project's <tt>bin/Debug</tt> or <tt>bin/Release</tt> folder (depending on your build configuration).
 
−
# There should be a <tt>.zip</tt> file there for your mod version.
 
−
# Upload that file to [http://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley Nexus Mods].
 
−
 
 
−
In your mod description, providing clear install steps will help reduce support questions. Example BBCode:
 
−
<pre>
 
−
[size=5]Install[/size]
 
−
[list=1]
 
−
[*][url=https://smapi.io]Install the latest version of SMAPI[/url].
 
−
[*]Download this mod and unzip it into [font=Courier New]Stardew Valley/Mods[/font].
 
−
[*]Run the game using SMAPI.
 
−
[/list]
 
−
</pre>
