  2. Download the plugin .jar file from a trusted source (e.g., SpigotMC.org).
  3. Stop your server.
  4. Upload the .jar file to the `plugins` folder in your server's file manager.
  5. Start your server. The plugin should now load.

Check the server console for any errors or messages from the plugin.
