# Downloading

1. Download from the Internet

Download your plugin along with Core. Free plugins will be available on SpigotMC.<br>

**Plugins usually contain a warning, asking you to click on the image to redirect you to the Core download page, such as this image:**

### 2. Place the Plugins in the “plugins” folder.

The second step is to place the plugin files inside the “plugins” folder on your server, as shown in the example:

Then, just start your server!
