# Getting started

Install rnCombatPvP, learn what it does out of the box, keep it up to date and see what each file is for.

Put the jar in `plugins/` and restart. Combat tag, the combat log punishment, `/pvp`, newbie protection and kill stats work at once with sensible values; you only change what you want different. Bounties are off until you turn them on.
