# Installing AdminTools3

## How to install

This guide assumes a basic knowledge of files (downloading, moving, copying, renaming)

1.  You need a Minecraft Server that supports Plugins. I recommend Paper because of its optimizations, but you can also use Bukkit or Spigot. [Download paper](https://papermc.io/)

    You have to join the server at least once before you continue.
2. Stop the server if it runs currently
3. [Download AdminTools3 from Spigot](https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/admintools.76747/) and place it the plugins folder of the server

You are done! If you want to configure the plugin as well, follow the "configuring" guide next.

## Configuring

1. Start the server. Wait until it is loaded and stop it again.
2.  Configure the plugin through the different files.

    You can find a detailed guide to configure the plugin in the wiki.
3. Save all changes and start the server again.
