The plugin you are looking to install will indicate which server type you will need to have loaded. For example, https://dev.bukkit.org/ lists all the plugins made for Bukkit, and https://minecraft.curseforge.com/mc-mods lists all mods made for Forge.

Step 2: Determine which version of Minecraft you Need

Review the plugin download page and see which version of Minecraft is supported. For example, this plugin download page featured below indicates that the mod only works on version 12.2 of Forge.

You now know which server type and version you need to install on your server.
