# Installing BuildSystem

## Requirements

Ensure your server meets the following version requirements before installation:

* **Java Version**: **Java 25** minimum. The plugin will not load on older runtimes and will throw unsupported class version errors.
* **Minecraft Version**: Supports **Minecraft 1.21** through **Minecraft 26.2**.

## Installation Steps

1. Download the `BuildSystem.jar` file from SpigotMC or a verified channel.
2. Place the `.jar` file into the server's `plugins/` directory.
3. Start the server to generate default configuration directories and files.
4. Stop the server by running the `stop` command in the console.
5. Modify the generated `getting-started/config.md` or `messages.yml` files as needed.
6. Restart the server.
