-First, open [[http://fabric.asie.pl/use/|the download page]] and choose the game, mapping and loader versions. +==== MultiMC ====
-  * Generally, choosing the latest mapping version for a given game version is advisable, as mods do not depend on the deobfuscated names staying the same. +

-Start MultiMC. Click on "Add Instance" in the top-left, then select "Import from ZIP" and paste the URL in the text field. Don't forget to set an instance name, otherwise it will use the default "multimc"!+  - Create a new game instance.
