# Installing InteractiveBoard

## Installation steps

1. Stop the server.
2. Add  **`InteractiveBoard.jar`**  to your plugins.
3. Start the server.
4. All of the **InteractiveBoard** start files and folders should be automatically generated.(`config.yml, boards, images, fonts, music`)
5. Now you can start using the plugin :tada: 

   Continue reading further to see how you can create boards and edit them. [Creating a board](/docs/getting-started/creating-a-board.md)

**Fix for servers using proxies with 1.8-1.10 clients.** 

If you are using a **bungee**/**velocity** proxy with **1.8**-**1.10** versions, to prevent the boards from freezing due to the bug in old **1.8**-**1.10** clients, you need to install **InteractiveBoard.jar** in the proxy and enable bungee-freeze-fix option in **config.yml** of **InteractiveBoard** in every server on your network that uses **InteractiveBoard**. If you are using **ViaRewind** or **ViaBackwards** make sure that they are installed on the server and not the proxy.
