### Versions < 2.0

Install the plugin by copying the JAR to **WEB-INF/lib** inside your JIRA web application and **restart JIRA**.

### Version 2.0 and above

Starting with version 2.0, the plugin is a "type TWO" plugin, which means that the plugin can be installed by copying it to **jira-home/plugins/installed-plugins** or, better yet, from the excellent [Atlassian Universal Plugin Manager](https://plugins.atlassian.com/plugin/details/23915).

Upgrading from 1.x to 2.x

 

If you are upgrading from version 1.x to version 2.0 or above, you must make sure that you delete jira-misc-workflow-extension-1.x.jar from atlassian-jira/WEB-INF/lib before installing the new version in jira-data/plugins/installed-plugins.

Also note that the Universal Plugin Manager will not offer to upgrade from version 1.x automatically.
