# Installation
If you don't want to compile from source, you can [download the
compiled plugin here][dl] and copy it to the CanaryMod plugins directory.
Before installing ScriptCraft you must first install SpigotMC which is a special version of Minecraft Server that makes it easy to customize the game.
## Installing and Running SpigotMC
Follow these steps to download and install SpigotMC on your machine.
1. Download Spigot's [BuildTools.jar][spigotdl]
2. Save the BuildTools.jar file to a new directory called spigotmc.
3. Open a terminal (Mac and Linux) or command prompt (windows) window and type `java -jar BuildTools.jar`. This will kick off a long series of commands to "build" SpigotMC.
4. When the build is done, there will be a new file beginning with `spigot` and ending in `.jar` in the spigotmc directory. Run this file by typing `java -jar spigot-1.10.2.jar` (it might not be that exact name - you can list files in the directory by typing `dir` (Windows) or `ls` (Mac and Linux).
5. The server will start up then shut down very shortly afterwards. You'll need to edit a file called `eula.txt` - change `eula=false` to `eula=true` and save the file.
6. Run the `java -jar spigot-1.10.2.jar` command again - this time the server will start up. Shut it down by typing `exit` at the server prompt.
7. Download the [scriptcraft.jar][dl] plugin and save it to the `plugins` directory and restart the server by typing `java -jar spigot-1.10.2.jar`.
9. At the server prompt type `js 1 + 1` and hit enter. The result `2` should be displayed.
Congratulations - you've just installed your Custom Minecraft Server and are ready to begin writing your first mod!

# Additional information
Because the CanaryMod API is open, all of the CanaryMod API is accessible
Because the SpigotMC API is open, all of the SpigotMC API is accessible
via javascript once the ScriptCraft plugin is loaded. There are a
couple of useful Java objects exposed via javascript in the
ScriptCraft plugin …
* `__plugin` – the ScriptCraft Plugin itself. This is a useful
starting point for accessing other CanaryMod objects. The `__plugin`
object is of type [net.canarymod.plugin.Plugin][api] and all
starting point for accessing other SpigotMC objects. The `__plugin`
object is of type [org.bukkit.plugin.Plugin][api] and all
of its properties and methods are accessible. For example … `js
__plugin.name` returns the plugin's name
(JavaScript is more concise than the equivalent Java code:
`__plugin.getName()` ).
* `server` – The top-level net.canarymod.Server object. See the [CanaryMod API docs][cmapi] for reference.
* `server` – The top-level org.bukkit.Server object. See the [SpigotMC API docs][spigotapi] for reference.
* `self` – The player/command-block or server console operator who
invoked the `/js` command. Again, this is a good jumping off point for
diving into the CanaryMod API.
