:::info
If your server is not running <Versions platform="java"/>, you will need to install <a href="https://viaversion.com/">ViaVersion</a>.

:::

1. Select your server hosting provider in the dropdown above.
2. Download the plugin from [the download page](https://download.geysermc.org/v2/projects/geyser/versions/latest/builds/latest/downloads/spigot).
3. Place the Geyser-Spigot.jar in the `plugins` folder, and restart the server.
4. Open your Geyser config, located in `/plugins/Geyser-Spigot/config.yml`, and find the following:

    ```yaml
    bedrock: 
        # The IP address that will listen for connections. 
        # Generally, you should only uncomment and change this if you want to limit what IPs can connect to your server. 
        #address: 0.0.0.0 

        # The port that will listen for connections. This is the port that Bedrock players will use to connect to your server.
        port: 19132 

        # Some hosting services change your Java port everytime you start the server and require the same port to be used for Bedrock. 
        # This option makes the Bedrock port the same as the Java port every time you start the server. 
        # This option is for the plugin version only. 
        clone-remote-port: false 
    ``` 
    The vital part is the port. This is the port that Bedrock players will use to connect to your server. 
    Follow the instructions in the provider selector - change the port, and if necessary, `clone-remote-port` & `address`.
    If `clone-remote-port` is enabled, the bedrock port will be overwritten with the Java port!   
    **Important**: Other services/plugins that rely on ports with UDP, such as Voice Chats or Query, cannot share the port with Geyser.
 
5. Verify whether connections are possible by running `geyser connectiontest <ip>:<port>` in the console.
