Installing a minecraft Plugin onto your minecraft server is fairly simple but there are a few things to keep in mind.

Installing a Plugin

1. Download the Plugin. This will be a .jar file.
2. Move this file into your /plugins folder.
3. Restart your server.
4. While restarting, monitor the console for error or warning messages.
5. After the server started. verify if the Plugin was installed by using /pl, it should show up green.
   • If its red. that means the Plugin could not be enabled and this can have multiple reasons.
   • The minecraft server will usually tell you whats wrong when failing to enable a Plugin.

2. Check if there are any paid dependencies you will need.
3. Make sure the plugin does what you need. (By reading the wiki for example)

After purchase

1. Purchase / Downlad the Plugin
2. Check for any dependencies where you downloaded the plugin from.
