Follow the steps
- Open plugins for the selected server. Check the name, installed version, offered channel and framework. An available configurator does not prove the plugin is installed or grant access to its paid file.
- Choose an action available for that version. Review the target and parameters before confirming.
- Read the server response, then refresh the plugin’s state. For an installation, inspect the result for each file.
