SonarApex plugin is a commercial product.
You cannot install it on SonarQube 7.6 Community Edition or Developer Edition, you need at least Enterprise Edition. Read more at Plans & Pricing, and do not hesitate to request a trial license. Furthermore, SonarApex is available on sonarcloud.io and it's free of charge for public projects or start at 10€/month.
