San Andreas Multiplayer (SA:MP) is a modification for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas which turns it into a multiplayer game. You can play over the internet (or LAN) with up to 500 other people. You need the original Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas PC game to play San Andreas Multiplayer. In SA:MP you are able to do almost anything that you can do in single player GTA. SA:MP also features the ability to create your own scripted game modes. There are many game modes that feature a series of different and fun things to do. Many of which are not possible in single player.
System Requirements
SA:MP will run on any computer that will run San Andreas single player, but give better performance in most cases. However, if you are playing on larger servers(SA-MP Supports up to 500 slots), the game may run slower at times if you have a lower spec.

SA:MP specific
In addition to the standard Single Player requirements, SA:MP needs the following:
- 5.6MB free Hard Drive space
- An Internet Connection (512k+ Broadband is highly recommended for smooth online play)
- A copy of GTA San Andreas for PC - V1.0 [NOT V1.01, V2.0, V3.0]DOWNLOAD HERE: SAMP
Install
Simply run the download and install to your GTA San Andreas folder. The default directory is:C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\GTA San Andreas\
It is very important that SA:MP is installed in the same place as gta_sa.exe. This is important as SA:MP needs the core San Andreas files to run. You should see the following window with your San Andreas directory pre-selected. If it is slected, click install - if not, browse for the directory first.
This automatic installation process should place a shortcut named SAMP on your desktop, if it's not there check your GTA San Andreas directory - just open this file to choose a server.Finding a server is simple - run the newly created shortcut on your desktop (samp.exe), and the browser will pop up. Click on the "internet" tab at the bottom of the client to query the masterlist, and you will see what is shown on the image above.The only necessary user input to this page is to enter your name in the "name" field, to the top of the browser window. Then, simply choose a server you want, right-click on it, and press "Connect". If all goes well, this will load up San Andreas with the selected server, and you will be playing San Andreas with anywhere up to 500 other people!If the online play doesn't start, see the list of common problems. If you need more help check the forum.Game Keys
As SA:MP is built on top of the San Andreas game, nearly all the keys are exactly the same as single player with the exception of a few SA:MP-specific commands :-Key Description F1 Displays the in-game help menu T Allows you to chat & enter commands Shift Select a class while at the class selection screen (or press 'SPAWN' button) F4 Allows you to reselect a character (on death) F5 Shows the network data (eg: bandwidth usage) F6 An alternate of "T" (chat) F7 Shows/hides the chat window (Pressed twice toggles the HUD removal) F8 Takes a screenshot F9 Shows/hides the "death" window F10 Hides the HUD (while held) G Allows you to enter a car as a passenger H Allows you to shoot while a passenger Esc Hide the chat input box (if open) As for all other commands, they are exactly the same as single player. If you have never played San Andreas before it is highly recommended that you play through Single Player first - even if it is only the first few missions. A lot of playing SA:MP involves knowledge of single player itself, especially tasks such as driving around or looking for places to buy health/weapons.Some Screenshots:
