How do I install this version?

Installing this version is very easy thanks to our panel. The first thing you need to do is go to your server and find the "Versions" section, once inside we can see the different software we can install, we are going to enter Pufferfish.

A dialog will open asking which build of the version you want to install, if you want to delete existing files on your server and also if you want to accept the EULA. Once you check the options you want, click on Install.

Now we simply need to go to the console and start the server, wait a few seconds and accept the EULA if we have not done it before.
