# GETTING STARTED

Welcome! This section takes you from zero to a **fully protected server in just a few minutes**. Follow the three steps below in order.

## The Path

| Steps | Pages                                            | What you'll do?                                      |
| ----- | ------------------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| 1️⃣   | [Requirements](/getting-started/requirements.md) | Check your server version, Java, and license.        |
| 2️⃣   | [Installation](/getting-started/installation.md) | Drop in the jar, add your license key, first boot.   |
| 3️⃣   | [Quick Start](/getting-started/quick-start.md)   | Turn on the recommended protections and you're done. |

## TL;DR (the 3-minute version)

1. Put the jar in `plugins/` and start the server once.
2. Open `plugins/AuroraSecurity/config.yml` and set your **`license-key`**.
3. Leave anti-spoof on auto-detect and restart:

```yml
general:
  anti-spoof:
    mode: "AUTO"
    on-insecure-config: "LOCKDOWN"
```

## Running a network?

If your server sits **behind a proxy**, head to the matching guide after installation:

[BungeeCord](/setup/bungeecord.md)\
[Velocity](/setup/velocity.md)\
[Universal Jar](/setup/universal-jar.md) — one file for backend **and** proxy.
