Hit Download Java and install the software.
Go back to the browser and get whatever jar file you would like (i.e. Spigot, Bukkit, Paper, etc.), I will use the spigot for this tutorial.
Go to your desktop and make a new folder for your server.
Drag and drop the jar of your choice, then double click on the file.jar.
