Answer:
After completing the instructions listed in this guide, ensure that you have restarted your server. Read the server console carefully to see if it says anything about the addon being installed, if it does not, then the addon has been installed improperly. Make sure the following are true:
- Folder name should NOT contain any spaces or special characters.
- Folder name should only have alpha characters and underscores.
- Ensure the addon is installed only ONE folder deep within your servers' addons directory
- Example: garrysmod/addons/your_addon_name/
