# Installing the Modpack externally

Use this page ONLY if your launcher doesn't support installing from external sources at all

## Vanilla/Other Launchers..

{% hint style="danger" %}

## Do note

Using this method will not give updates to the modpack, and it is designed for launcher(s) like the official Minecraft Launcher, or any "Cracked" Launchers that doesn't have a way to install from ANY external sources, and not to be used on "Minecraft Clients" at all, go to "Minecraft Clients" for that section\
\
The installer will create their own .minecraft folder for the modpack and version, not overwriting your .minecraft folder
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}

## Requirements

You must have java installed so the program can install frabic
{% endhint %}

To install it to the official vanilla client or any other client you may need to download a installer builded for this usage:\
\
Windows:

{% file src="/files/YtznMNYePYyt2Io0hSoR" %}

Linux:

{% file src="/files/fazhPcqOkZgX18euejDp" %}

The following steps has been tested on Windows, linux not yet, if you have tested  this on linux, please [Contact Me](/swilia-docs/contact.md)!

\
After downloading the installer and knowing the warning on the installer, click on "OK", and this main window will show up after it fetches the versions on modrinth, before installing it, check your launcher's directory, if your launcher uses .minecraft to read the version(s) and installations, keep it as it is, otherwise if your launcher uses a custom folder, click on "Browse" and select that folder

After that click on "**Install**" or you can change versions using the arrow on "**Modpack Version**", Installing may some minutes, including installation of frabic\
\
\
After it downloads and installs and seeing this message, you're done, you may need to reboot your launcher

After rebooting your launcher, if the modpack shows on your Installations of your launcher, congrats, you installed it! you need know is to boot your game!<br>

## Minecraft Clients

The modpack sadly will not have any compatibility for minecraft clients, as most features (the mods) crashes on the client, or is already overwritten by your client, to install the modpack, you must NOT run on a Minecraft Client (Lunar/Feather or others)
