# Installation

1. Put the **DeluxeChat jar** file you downloaded in your **plugins** folder. If you want to use it with BungeeCord, you'll have to put it in your BungeeCord's **plugins** folder too.
2. Download [**PlaceholderAPI**](https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/placeholderapi.6245/) plugin and put it in your plugins folder (not on BungeeCord).
3. Restart the servers.
4. Modify the **config.yml** and the **messages.yml** files that were generated to fit your server's layout (Files path: `/plugins/DeluxeChat/`).
5. Reload **DeluxeChat** `/dchat reload` (Some options require a restart to apply the changes).
6. Give your players the permission for their chat format `chatformat.<format-name>`. (Note: Players need the `chatformat.default` to gain access to the default format. Also, operators do not get the **chatformat** permissions by default.)
7. Check the [Commands & Permissions](https://wiki.helpch.at/clips-plugins/deluxechat/commands-and-permissions) page, to give players access to the commands you want them to use.
8. And you're done! Give us a review about the plugin [here](https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/deluxechat.1277/).
