### Obtain License

Visit [Spigot](https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/%E2%9A%A1-ultimaterewards-15-available-reward-types-1-8-1-20-4.108055/), [BuiltByBit](https://builtbybit.com/resources/ultimaterewards-15-types-of-rewards.27336/) or [Polymart](https://polymart.org/resource/ultimaterewards.4150) to acquire your copy of the plugin. Download the plugin's `.jar` file.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Download Plugin

Once downloaded, navigate to your server's directory and locate the "plugins" folder.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Insert Plugin

Place the downloaded `.jar` file directly into the `plugins` folder (not in subfolders).
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Start Server

Stop, start, or restart your server to initiate the plugin installation. You can do this through your server management interface or by using the appropriate server commands.

* For Bukkit/Spigot servers, use the command: `/stop`, `/start`, or `/restart`.
* For other server types, follow the specific stop/start/restart procedure applicable to your server.

### Load Plugin

Allow the server to complete the loading process. Ensure that the plugin is loaded without any errors or conflicts.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Configure Plugin

Once the server has successfully loaded, your plugin is ready to use! Verify its functionality and configure any necessary settings according to the plugin documentation.
