Administrators can access the Marketplace via **[Administration > Marketplace](/#sonarqube-admin#/admin/marketplace)**. The Marketplace is the place for keeping the pieces of the SonarQube platform up to date. It lets you:

To see what plugins are available and which version of a plugin is appropriate for your server, use the [plugin version matrix](/instance-administration/plugin-version-matrix/), which is kept up to date with current plugin availability and compatibility.
-To install a plugin, simply download it using the manual download link on the plugin documentation page, place it in _$SONARQUBE-HOME/extensions/downloads_, and restart the server.

### Stopping the Marketplace from searching for plugin updates
Your SonarQube server needs internet access for the Marketplace to search for plugin updates. If your server doesn't have internet access, you may get errors in your logs when the Marketplace tries to search for new plugins. You can stop this by updating `sonar.updatecenter.activate` in `$SONARQUBE-HOME/conf/sonar.properties`.
1. On a single application node of the cluster, download and install SonarQube Data Center Edition, following the usual [Installing the Server](/setup/install-server/) documentation.
2. Add cluster-related parameters to `$SONARQUBE_HOME/conf/sonar.properties`.
-3. As the Marketplace is not available in SonarQube Data Center Edition, this is a good opportunity to install additional plugins. Download and place a copy of each plugin JAR in `$SONARQUBE_HOME/extensions/plugins`. Be sure to check compatibility with your SonarQube version using the [Plugin Version Matrix](https://docs.sonarqube.org/display/PLUG/Plugin+Version+Matrix).

4. Zip the directory `$SONARQUBE_HOME`. This archive is a customized SonarQube Data Center Edition package that can be copied to other nodes.
**Test configuration on a single node:**
There are two ways to install plugins in SonarQube:
-- **Marketplace** - Automatically installs plugins from the SonarQube UI.
-- **Manual Installation** - You can use this method if your SonarQube instance doesn't have Internet access, if you're using Data Center Edition, or if the plugin isn't in the Marketplace.
+- **Marketplace** - With Community Edition, you can use Marketplace to automatically install plugins from the SonarQube. With commercial editions, you can browse plugins in the Marketplace, but you need to manually install and update your plugins.
+- **Manual Installation** - You need to manually install plugins when using commercial editions of SonarQube. You can also manually install plugins if your SonarQube instance doesn't have internet access or the plugin you're installing isn't in the Marketplace.
