--- description: >- Here is a guide with details that you need to follow in order to complete the installation. --- # 🚀 Plugin Installation Tutorial ## Before installation In order to install PlayerServers, you will need to have a **VPS or Dedicated** server with **root** access. If you do not have it, please do not buy the plugin or try to install it on a **Shared (Game) Hosting.** ## Picking the right OS We understand that if you have your server already up and running, it might come hard for you to change your OS. That's why we tested our plugin on many of the popular OS-es. Even tho some of them are marked with ⚠️, it doesn't mean the plugin will not work there, it just means that the instructions from this guide will not help you while setting up the plugin on those Operating Systems, but if you configure everything correctly (like installing Java, Screen & Fuser) the plugin should work without any problems. If you have any problems with an OS marked with ✅, please contact me so we can solve it. Operating Systems marked with ⛔️ are currently not supported at all, but the support for them come in the future versions. Below is the list of all the popular operating systems: | **Operating System** | Version | Supported | Notes | | -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | --------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Ubuntu** |

PlayerServers v3+ introduced the full Windows support by using Docker for instance management

Should work without any problems as it comes with
screen & fuser pre-installed.
Tested on M1 processors as well. On M1 machines, ARM JVM like Azul Zulu is highly recommended.
