# Installation

* Install Modern Tournament in the server `plugins/` folder and restart.
* (Optional) Install **PlaceholderAPI** to expose the `%ut_*%` placeholders — the hook is automatic when PlaceholderAPI is present.
* (Optional) Set an `api_key` in `settings.yml` to enable the live [online bracket](/products/modern-tournament/features.md#online-bracket). Create a token on the dashboard rather than using the account key — it can be revoked on its own; see [API tokens](/products/modern-tournament/website.md#api-tokens).
* Set up your first arena and tournament — see [tournament.md](/products/modern-tournament/tournament.md).
