# Getting Started

> Install and configure your first MythicLabs plugin

This guide walks you through installing any MythicLabs plugin for the first time. The steps are the same across our whole catalog — once you've done it once, you've done it for every plugin.

## Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have:

* A Paper, Purpur, or Spigot server (see [Supported Versions](/supported-versions) for exact version support)
* Console or SFTP access to your server's `plugins` folder
* A license or download obtained from our [BuiltByBit](https://builtbybit.com/creators/mrbarneyy.249089/) storefront
* Your plugin's license key

<Note>
  Some plugins depend on **MythicCore**, our shared runtime library. If a plugin's [overview page](/plugins/overview) lists MythicCore as a dependency, install it first.
</Note>

## Install a plugin

<Steps>
  <Step title="Download the plugin">
    Download the `.jar` file for your plugin from your BuiltByBit purchase history.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Upload it to your server">
    Stop your server, then copy the `.jar` file into your server's `plugins/` directory.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure the license">
    Start the server once to let the plugin generate its default configuration files under `plugins/<PluginName>/`.

    Open the plugin's `config.yml` and enter your license key in the following field:

    ```yaml theme={null}
    license-key: "YOUR-LICENSE-KEY"
    ```

    You can find your license key on your BuiltByBit purchase page, or by opening a ticket in our [Discord](https://dc.mythiclabs.eu).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Restart your server">
    After entering your license key, restart your server so the plugin can load and validate the license.
  </Step>
</Steps>
